Dearest Dad,
As difficult as it has been to let you go, I've come to realize you live in God's Kingdom now and you were meant to be there since the day you were born. As much as I miss you it is selfish to say because God loves us so much and he needed you to come home. I miss you're voice so very much. I remember as a child how comforting you're voice was to me and how secure I felt when you were there. I have nothing but wonderful, happy, positive and loving memories of you Dad. You had a way of lifting me up with your words of wisdom and knowledge. You were always my Hero and that will never change. We are so proud of how hard you fought til the end Daddy, a true warrior, you had cancer beat but God wanted you Dad. I think of you all day everyday and everything reminds me of you. I'll never be able to fill you're shoes but I'll try. I know we won't meet again this side of Heaven but I'll live the rest of my life loving and missing you.
