Dear Daddy,

Today is your special day. The day the Lord saw fit for you to enter this world and one day become my father. I will forever be grateful for May 17th. Thankful that the Lord chose you to be my dad. And while today seems unbearable without you, there is a peace in knowing the great reward you are experiencing right now with Jesus.

A flood of emotions feel my heart, but today I will dwell on all of the wonderful memories we shared. Alabama football games, beach trips, family dinners while watching “Andy Griffith”, our daily talks, and the nightly devotions you shared with us when I was a kid. You will always be the best listener and financial advisor. I even miss arguing over the last sweet or cupcake with you. I am glad for the sweet tooth trait, you passed down to me. Oh, daddy, I miss you more than words can say. People tell me all the time what a wonderful man you were and that warms my heart so much. You continue to be the most wonderful man to me. I know Heaven is a sweeter place with you in it and I can’t wait for the day that I see you again. Happy Birthday, daddy. I’ll keep visiting you in my dreams.

I love you,

Whitney

The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.

Psalm 34:18
