Happy Birthday Daddy, i love and miss u dearly. I wish u were here for us to celebrate it but all in due time we will see each other again. I know you're up there watching me from day to day. I feel your eyes upon me and your strength in me when i am in need of something. Since i can't see you today i must come to the place you lay, it's a small place i find peace and i know you're with me there. I love you Daddy...
