Lillian Jean

Lillian means "Heaven's Flower."
I wonder do you know who I am?
Life is kinda empty without you in it my daughter.
Love between a father and daughter should be unbreakable!
I've watched you grow up these 7 years in photographs.
And it kills me I haven't been able to hold you.
Not a day goes by I don't think of you Lilly.

Jean was my momma's middle name given to you.
Everyday i pray you're doing well baby girl,
And you need to know you're my world.
Nothing or no one will ever change that!


*Lillian Jean Anderson is my youngest.  She is 7 years old!

She's as lovely as her name, I'm sure, Jimmy. Just like Jasmine and Brianna. Soon, you'll be able to see her and hold her. And don't worry, girls-especially little girls always love their Daddy...Beautiful write for Lilly, JAM....Love, Peanut Butter
