Death robs you of a future of memories, it takes away the anticipation of being together, it splits your heart in half and leaves you drowning in an ocean and yet amidst this undeniable devastation remains hope. Hope that I will see you again, hope that I will hear you call my name and watch your face light up when you see me. Hope is my anchor to you, without it I am lost in a vast ocean with no shore in sight. My heart hurts everyday Daddy. The only thing I know to be true is this quote that you and I repeated many times to one another during one of our favorite shows:
"When there's nothing to hold on to, hold on to your faith." So I will cling to my faith with hope as my anchor knowing that somewhere beyond my reach you are on the other side willing my grief to recede like the ocean waves and believing that I am strong enough to survive losing you. I love and miss you Daddy beyond anything you could have ever imagined.
Forever your girl
