Five years ago today, my big, strong Daddy passed away.

... a little girl needs her Daddy, to hold on to, to hear him say, 'I love you,' to just be there. ...

This is Daddy. It's been five
years since he passed away.
The tears flow, because I
miss him so very much. He
gave the best hugs. He
loved to tell stories ('There
I was ...'). He served his
country, along with his four
brothers. He smelled like
cigarette smoke and love --
a little girl needs her Daddy,
to hold on to, to hear him
say, 'I love you,' to just be
there. I'm glad God gave 
me you ... wish you were
still here. I love you, Daddy.

You still have the memories, Karla, and the knowledge that you'll be together again one day. Take comfort in that and God bless.
