When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.

Daddy,
I know that you fought hard for a long time, and were so very tired. I tried to bring you back, but I just couldn't this time, and I knew that it was time for you to let go and finally be at peace. I was always so proud of you(you were my hero), and I hope you feel that I did right by you. Thank you for giving me the gift of making the last words you said to me on this Earth, "I love you, too, hon." I needed to hear that from you, and it meant the world to me. I pray that you are struggling no longer, playing a perfect game of golf, catching the biggest fish, making beautiful music with the angels, having a great family reunion, and still catching some beautiful rays even though your sun has set here on Earth. Nudge me now and then and let me know that I'm doing ok, and if I ever do get to walk down the aisle, I hope that I have your hand on my shoulder and feel the smile on your face. I will always love you with all my heart.
Rest in peace, Daddy.
Always,
Your loving daughter
