As a little girl growing up you were my superman, and as I watched you struggle n fight during your last days you confirmed yet again you were superman! Im so greatful to have been w you the past week! There was nothing we could do to make you stay, and now that you are gone all I do is pray that you have found peace and no longer are in pain! I never dreamed our time together would have been cut short and so many things I wish we wld have done different but one thing I know for sure is that when you left this world u left knowing that I loved you with all my heart, jus as you did me. The promises I made u will be kept dad and your memory will live on within us all!!! Rest easy daddy, miss n love you always
