Daddy
Posted for: LONNIE VESTER MERCHANT:
Daddy I was ten when you were taken away.
It has been 30 years, but I remember it like it was
yesterday. I wish you were here to see me all grown up. I am married now and have two beautiful children. Tiffany is 15 and Christopher is 12. You would love them. You would also love my husband Jim, he is wonderful. The hardest thing for me is watching my daughter being a daddy's girl and wishing I could have had that opportunity. When I got married I wished it could have been you giving me away. I really missed not being able to call you daddy when I was growing up. I will always miss you and I will always love you. You have a special place in my heart that will always be just for you. I will see you in heaven when my time comes. Your Loving Daughter Debbie
