Dear Daddy, I am 4 years old and we are at the store so you can buy me my first roller skates, I am 10 years old, we go to the tennis court so you can teach me to play. You were so patient with me and I thought I was great. I am 15 years old, you come to watch me play tennis on my high school team. I am 18 years old, you buy me my first car, a shiny red mustang. I am 20 years old, you walk me down the aisle to start a new life with a young man you take into the family. I am 22 years old, you are at the hospital beaming at your first grandchild - a beautiful boy. I am 24 years old and you are there again, proud PAPA of grandson number 2. I am 27 years old and have moved overseas, you bring Mom to visit after just 5 months because you miss us. I am 30 years old and we move back home, you are so happy. I am 33 years old and you are gone... I had a beautiful life with a wonderful man! I may not know how old I'll be, but I know you'll be waiting with open arms when it's my turn. I have always loved you daddy and always will, just as I will always be... --Your little girl. |
