Dear Daddy, 

I know that I didn’t appreciate you as much as I should have. I’m really sorry. I take everything for granted, and I’m spoiled. I am sorry for all the trouble& pain that I caused you. I didn’t always show how much I loved you, because I always felt that it wasn’t fair that I couldn’t see you as much as other children see their parents. It always killed me how I would see you for two weeks and then you were gone. I knew that you couldn’t just leave work because of the people that work for you. All of the time apart from your family, the hard work, the stress, it was all for us to live comfortably. Dad, you lived a great life. You worked hard to get the position you had, you had genuine friends, and a loving family that supported you through thick and thin. Take care in heaven, you’re in a better place now. I love you so much! I couldn’t have asked for a better dad! I’ll do my best to take care of Mom and Wesley. We’ll meet you on the other side in a few more years, I promise. But for right now, please watch over Mommy, Wesley and me. We’ll all work our hardest to make you proud. You may not be here anymore, but you’ll always live in my heart. Thank you for being the best dad a girl can ask for. I’m lucky to have had such a great person like you in my life. I love you and miss you dearly. Rest in peace, daddy. 

With love that can’t be explained,

            Ashley

Rest In Peace, Daddy
