Dear Daddy,
I guess this is our final goodbyes. I wil find comfort in the angels up high.
Although my tears flow most everday, I know in time this will slowly go away.
Don't ever forget, I never left your side, but I was NOT ready for those final good byes.
Aftering seeing you suffering & endurning such pain, how selfish of me looking for blame.
I feel so much sorrow, but it's a sorrow of our deep rooted FAMILY LOVE, I know in time I will heal from the love of our God Almighty above.
I know how much I love you, but God loved you more - but with his love & strength he will give me peace & help me restore.
There will be a day we will meet again, so with God's will he wash away my sins.
Until that day comes around, may my love in our Sweet Jesus keep me safe & sound.
So, with that being said, I always love you & no one can take that away. I will keep you close in my heart each & everday.
Daddy, for now I'm saying goodbye, until we meet again with our Lord & Saviour in our beautiful blue sky's.
I love you always, your daughter, Dawn
