Daddy I miss you so much. I wish you were here with me - helping me to cope with my darkest thoughts, and to experience my recent achievements.  I wish that I didn`t take so long to sort out my life.  I wish that you had have been here to see what I`ve acomplished this year. 

I feel like I`ve finally found my place in this world.  I finally feel like I am proud to call myself your daughter.  It sux that you cannot be here to see the culmination of your parenting and your faith in a troublesome teenager. 

Thanks to you, I`ve seen first hand the truly remarkable work of the nurses of Victoria.  I have made myself one of them and I know that if you were here that you`d be proud of me.

Nothing I can put into words can describe the loss that I feel without you in my life.

I miss you so much daddy.

Love forever and ever - - - - Daughter Number One.
