Yesterday marked 1 year since I last heard your voice Daddy and I still feel lost without you.
Every day I miss you more then any words can explain. When good things happen and when bad things occur, I reach my phone to text you. Imagine the pain when I remember you are not around to give me advice anymore; that you are not there to encourage my dreams, or celebrate my achievements.
365 days.
Most days are long and sometimes I feel like I will eventually wake up from this terrible nightmare. Yesterday showed me as much as I wish this was a dream, it's a new reality. A reality I would never wish on anyone.
Last year, this world lost one of the best men that I have ever known and I was blessed to call you my father. Our family's world crumbled and we have been struggling to regain some sort of footing ever since. I truly believe the world lost a bit of it's sparkle because you left this life.
Thank you Dad for making me into the caring, saracastic, hard working woman that I am today. You taught me so much in the 26 years I was blessed to have you in my life and I am still learning from you every day. Thank you for teaching me that I am stronger then I give myself credit for, even though I wish you were here to encourage me every day.
I don't think there has been a day that has gone by that I don't think of you or miss you. I hope I make you proud every single day, that's all I wish every single day. I want you to know it's a struggle to face every single day, but I am a warrior for you. I smile and treat people with respect like you taught me to.
You were the best man I have ever known and I miss your smile, your sarcasm, your laughter and your daily advice on how to conquer this world. I still can not believe it's been 365 days and I miss you every single day.
Love you more.
