I'm his daughter. Everyday it feels so surreal that he's gone. Days like today make me hate holidays because I'll never be able to share a moment with him again. I won't ever hear his encouraging words or his constant sayings. I won't ever be able to be my daddy's little girl. But I know from above he's looking down on me and Is so proud of all my major accomplishments.
My prayers go forward to the entire family and loved ones. In times like these we can only look unto the hills from whence comes our help, our help comes from the Lord who made Heaven and Earth. May God provide peace comfort and understanding as only HE can.
May our family find comfort, true peace and acceptance in the coming days. Rest in peace Wayne---We All Love You.
