Daddy,

I’ve always loved you,

but now I appreciate you in a whole new way.

When I was young,

you were more than a father. You were a teacher,

a confidant, my superhero-

protecting and guiding me as I found my place in the world.

Full of hugs, stories and advice just for your “baby girl”.

I see things from a woman’s perspective now and

I still cherish our time together-

perhaps even more…

Both of us have changed of course… You are of heaven and I’m longing..

Longing to hear your voice and see your face.

I am now…

and forever will be, grateful to have a dad as loving as you in my corner.

And, I’ll always be your “baby girl”.
