Daddy,

Well I celebrated my 22nd birthday on Saturday although it was extremely hard I kept you on my mind, even more so. I missed your loving hug you would give me every morning of my special day. As the day passed me by I thought of you and your smiling face. Of course, it rained again but we still made it. I loved you and I miss you dearly. Your my world and there is nothing that will ever change that. Our little handsome man is growing right before out eyes. Yes, we know you blessed him with your dipples and handsome smile.I would also like to Thank you for making Mama so strong, she has really been strong and although her heart yearns for you, I know you have given the strength to be who she is today. God Bless ya daddy. Well I love you and miss you so much no one can ever feel like i do. Love you so much daddy! Love always your chicklet & Baby Anontio Ochoa III.

Love ya Lots Daddy !

Daddy,

" Happy Father's Day "

Growing up I found a person that grew very close to my heart.Having you as my Father is the greatest blessing God could have given to me. Our little bond will never be broken. It's funny to think that my son has carried many traits of yours. The smile and the handsome looking little guy he has turned into. Having you as my father has given me many reasons to Thank God for such a great human being as yourself. Every since I could remember I was your chicklet, stuck next to you no matter what. Like I alway say " The only man a girl can depend on is her Daddy". Although you are in heaven my heart knows you are smiling down on me and my son. It's been hard to cope with your absenses. I know you would rather me not cry for you but Daddy life will never be the same with out you. I miss your laughter, your smile and most of all your presense. The biggest chunk my heart is missing, is the part when I use to go home to see you on my break and when I would get home to see you with your little china hat or simply ralaxing. The other thing I wish I could have is your Sweeeet Hot Coco that you would prepare for me while I was dressing for work.( what I would do to have another cup of your hot chocolate). With this little message I would like to Thank you once again for all your have done. I can not wait for the day we meet at the pearly white gates were you will meet me with that huge smile of yours. " Death leave's a heart ache, no one can heal. Love leaves memory no one can steal."

Best Friends Forever Daddy ;)
I LoVe YoU DaDdY!
Love always your chicklet,
Manisha and Baby AO3.
