It's almost A Year since you've gone away Dad, Time has not made it any easier being without you! I miss talking to you every day , I miss your smile and your Laugh but Most of all I miss My Daddy. Hardest part was not being able to say Good Bye... And not knowing "Why" . I hope you knew how much I loved you and that you were the best Daddy A daughter could have ever asked for. I hope you are happy in Heaven with Grandma and Poppops, until we meet again Daddy ..... I love you , forever your Panda, Annie
