Dad-
It's been so long, but the memories are so fresh. This anniversary is for some reason particularly hard for me. I miss u more than u could even imagine. Mom's gone now too. I'd give anything to feel your arms swinging me thru the air, or listen to the Moody Blues. Nothing has been the same. I miss you like it was yesterday. I love you Daddy!! Your only daughter.,
