Dear Daddy, it is my wedding day.
I wish you could be here to give me away.
Mom’s new husband, Ed, is good in many ways,
But he can never ever take your place.
I asked to be alone for a minute or two,
So I would have an opportunity to write to you.
It is something I vowed to do,
To keep your memory alive and true.
Oh Daddy, I know you are here in my heart,
It is so hard being so far apart.
Daddy, I love you and miss you every day,
And your picture in my memory has begun to fade.
Daddy, I promise to never forget you,
I wish you could have met Andy before we say, “I do”,
But Daddy we will hold high what you stood for
Cause Andy and I met at Officer Training in the Marine Corp.
Gotta go now and walk that aisle,
I send my love, a big HUAH!!! And a smile.
I love you Daddy
Your Baby Girl.
