I love you Daddy and miss you so much!

My daddy was the best person! He was a great husband to my mama, he was an awesome Daddy to me and Cassie, the best PawPaw in the world! I think about picking my phone up and calling you every day Daddy! There are so many things I want to talk to you about and tell you! I’ve been clean now, Daddy, for 18 months! My babies are back at home with me where they belong! I got a new job at the courthouse! I really love it! I finally got my license back, Daddy, after 7 years! I got a really nice vehicle! It is big enough for all the kiddos! And of course my wagon! I wish I could look at you and tell you all these things! I want so badly for you to be proud of me, Daddy! I know I wasn’t able to make you proud while you were on this earth, but I promise I am going to do everything I can to make you proud now! I love you so much, Daddy! I wish you could see these babies! Trace is getting so tall! Luci is a cheerleader now and a beauty queen! Sailor is waddling around everyone and loves his big brother and sister so much! We miss you more than words can say! One day when I see you again, I hope that I am able to say “see Daddy! I told you I would make you proud!”
