Dear Daddy ,

I remember when I was little and we danced around the living room.With my feet on top of yours you spun me around making me laugh while you counted out the beat and swayed us back and forth. I was so eager to learn everything you had to teach me and I looked into your big brown eyes taking in every word you spoke.I couldn’t wait to get the steps right and show you I could do it myself. When I did come to you and show you daddy I can dance you laughed and teased me and still told me I have a lot to learn. I remember how each day passed and the next day started you would always try to teach us something. Weather it was how to clean the house to fixing flat tires on cars you wanted us kids to know how to do things right. I remember you taking me to church and telling me it wasn’t boring it was cool and I needed to learn the right way to live. I remember no matter how much I pleaded not to have to go you still had me there by your side when we walked into those church doors. I remember dreaming about my wedding day and wanting so bad to have you walk me down the isle and give me away. Knowing that a man like you giving his only daughter away is so hard to do. I remember so many days and nights years and years of time. What I remember most is the happiness and the love. I remember you taught me how to be who I have become. I remember the importance of family and how much we value because of you. So humble not really knowing how much each word spoken made me feel so special. I remember our laughs and tears and I miss you so much it aches inside. Not having you in my life changes who I am. I remember when I could ask for your advice and you were there to give it freely. I remember how it felt to be blessed with your advice and how you would always just want your little girl to be happy. Because of you I am happy. Because you taught me and gave me all the right values I am truly happy. You raised me to grow and become a woman, wife, and mother. Daddy I will always remember and I will always teach my children and grandchildren the same way you taught me. I know love doesn’t dies because a person dies. That love is still there and its there for a reason.My daddy taught me that.
