Dad,
I will love and miss you everyday for the rest of my life. I also want you to know how much I love you and appreciate everything you did for me and the boys. You are an amazing man who made an impact on the lives of anyone you met. You are the strongest, most courageous man I know, that fought so hard for so long to live. Because of you I’m the woman I am today. You never gave up on me pushing me to want more from life. Thank you for allowing me to be there and to care for you in your final days. I promise I will make you proud and to keep your memory alive. I love you so much and even though I would give anything to have my daddy back, I take comfort in knowing that you and mom are together again and that both of you are watching over me and the boys. You will never be forgotten. Love Always, Missy.
