It's hard to believe it's been eleven years as of yesterday. Things change so much over time. You'd love to see us now. Mom and I live on our own, back in our home town. Bubba lives next door, finally on his own. Beverly is married, and with a child! You'd love him dearly, he's so sweet. I graduated highschool, can you believe it? We miss you so much here, I can't wait to see you again! I know you're much healthier and happier now, but daddy, it's hard not feeling selfish and wanting you here. I can still hear your voice in my head sometimes, and it brings a smile to my face, and a happy tear to my eye at times. A lot of things have changed here, some for the better, others for worse, yet all for the glory of our Lord. Bubba has a son too now. He's almost ten. I hope you're doing well, and I know things are for the better now, but dad, it's so hard not having you here. I wish I had your guiding hand in my life, as I turn into a young woman needing the love of a father. It's okay though, it's made me much tougher learning on my own. Sometimes I wonder if learning on my own has made me TOO tough. It's hard to let people in for I'm scared they'll leave too. But God gives us challenges right? This is all His will right? I still have a Father here, and even though I miss you, I know you're with the Father as well. Looking forward to the day we see each other again! I love you, and I miss you so much!
Your daughter,
Samantha C.

Thanks for sharing this!
It's must be SO HARD to not have your Dad.........
Keep growing, be careful what you allow as inputs into your life (it truly does affect you a great deal). Choose your friends wisely, and let's live out this life as brother's and sister's in Christ.
Your family is big. You've got Me as your Bro, Anna and Miriam as sisters, and on and on... :)
I hope you have a great weekend,
Elijah
Thanks, Elijah. And indeed, you are right, my family is big! God has truly blessed me with many brothers and sisters, and i'm honored to know the few of them i know. :) Thank you for the encouragement!!

You have to remember that God works in mysterious ways...it's hard because our flesh loves to question His will, and His plans, something I am known for! :) But you're absolutely right. Daddy is in no more pain, and feels lots of HAPPINESS and LOVE!
That was sweet and sad, Samantha. I know it must be hard to not have a dad... But I am honored to know you, and I'm glad you're my sister in Christ! =) It will be fun to be around here and be with you more! :-)
