Dear Daddy

Dear Daddy,
Words can’t describe how much I miss u, but I suppose you already know.
Because I know you’re watching down on me through these times that move so slow.
This whole thing is so unreal, daddy, I just know that you’re still here
I just wish you would come home, daddy, and make the teardrops disappear
I know you didn’t want us to be sad, you said “remember who I was”
But we are still sad, but we do remember. Trust me, everyone does.
You were the person who stood out in the crowd with your smile shining bright
You were the one who made me laugh and made sure everything was alright
No matter what we did we were having fun and your laugh was absolutely contagious
You always made friends and made everyone happy your personality was just so courageous
It’s impossible not to love you because u are the best; you are the world’s greatest dad
I try not to cry but its so hard daddy, and I think of the good times we had
I remember at sea world when you’d get people wet but you would always have the best time ever
And when I was with my friends you would come in dancing that will stick in my mind forever
You would come to my games and you’d start the wave and cheer us on like no other 
You are a one of a kind dad, the only one like you. I just wish that I could have another
Another day with you and another kiss, another “I Love you”, I just want more of this
I want to hear you say “Your daddy loves you sweetie” like you always used to say
Or when I used to wake up really early just so I could hug you every day.
Everyone loves you dad. So much. As they should.
Because you made all of our lives better in ever way that you possibly could.
I know you were happy you had a great life
You had two wonderful children and the world’s greatest wife
You had great friends and family who always have cared
They are all here today daddy, because your life they’ve all shared
I hope you’re listening daddy. I’m almost positive you are
You know I love you so much. You’re my lucky star
Just know we all care for you, all of us do and always will
Though nights we might cry and just let our eyes spill,
We’ll remember the good times; they always were good with you
So thank you for everything dad, this thanks is much overdue
You’ve always been my hero. And now life is such a whirl
But I love u and miss you daddy
                                      Love always, 
                                                          Your Baby Girl
