DAD -  it's been 24 years since you left but in my heart it feels like yesterday. The pain will never go.  You have left such a loving stamp in all of us dad - you are my idol. No-one can ever be like you. I try each day when I wake  just to see you  but I never see you - so I always turn and look at your picture because your smile makes me smile.

You're always in my thoughts and I always tell my children what a wonderful person you are and how proud I am to be your daughter. You have made me the person I am today - you showed me how to love, how to share, how to be fair and most of all never turn anyone away no matter what and always be there to help when people are in need.

You are my sunshine, my soul and I love you so much. I miss you  daddy - you are one in a million and I'm so proud of you and thank you so much for being my daddy .

With all my love always and forever your darling daughter,
