  3. Daddy there is not enough words to describe how much I miss you, how much I love you, how much you’ve helped me grow, how much I appreciate you. I want to call you to cut up, and chit chat. I want to hear your laughter again. I know you can hear me now, but you are in a much better place. You have no more struggles. Give everyone a hug for me. I love you Daddy to the moon and back times infinity, and butterfly kisses.
