My beautiful daughter,
Never in a million years could I have possibly imagined losing you
at such a young age in such tragic circumstances.
When I first got the news from the Washington Highway Patrol I
thought I was going to pass out. I was in so much shock.
I still can’t believe you’re gone from all our lives, most days I wake
up and feel like it was a bad dream. Like you’re not really gone and
you will call me or text me later in the day.
The last time I was in Washington at the end of October, it was a pretty
typical visit with you. We had to go to the hospital and get stitches
because you cut your hand opening a can. I stayed with you until 10 pm
that night and I would have stayed all night if I needed to. I loved being
able to take care of you. We went and saw that awful Venom movie (which as it turned out was kinda entertaining) and got burgers before the movie.
I was hoping this was going to be one of many more trips to see you.
We were getting along well and really talking to each other about a lot
of things. It’s the worst part of it all for me, I so loved watching you grow. I loved
your smile and your very smart assed sense of humor.
I loved how much you loved animals. I don’t even like cats but I found yours to be
the cutest little one ever. When Scarlet has pups we are naming one of
them Pepe!
I’ll miss you every day for the rest of my life and hope to see you in
Heaven someday.
I’m happy that you’re free.
Daddy
