November 17, 2012  To my dear Dad…     It has been a year                 Since I lost you near                                 But I feel you here.         Not a day goes by                 Without a memory we share                                 Crossing my mind. I feel your perfection and pride.                 Your inspiration and motivation                                 Remain my guide. Keep sending me strength                 To endure life’s pain and fear. I miss you so very much                and hurt everyday without you near. But I feel you here.                 Your smile and grace Is the sparkle in my eye                                                 And smile on my face. You taught me value, richness and quality in life.                 I forever cherish the memories we share.                                 You live in me.                                                 I do feel you near.                                                                                                       My love to you forever,   xoxoxo your “Daughter #1”
