(Every time I hear this song, I wish I could sing it to you)
I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know...
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you...
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with every day
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear...
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
.....
.....
....
I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you
My Beautiful Ashley,
I can never bring back the youth that was taken from you. I can never take away the years of pain
and heartache we have both endured. I cannot tell or show you enough how much I miss you and love
you.
You have grown into an amazingly beautiful young lady. Your smile is radiant and your eyes
electric. I can see the heavens in your face. You are a perfect creation from God.
You are my only child, my baby...I miss you so terribly much. My heart aches daily to see you and
be with you. To do the things with you that daddy's do with their daughters....shopping, movies,
miniature golf, easter baskets, Christmas presents, birthday parties...I just have to tell you this,
and I don't care who else sees this or reads it...I love you, Ashley.
I pray constantly for your well being, your safety and your future.
I don't know what else can be said at this point, I just felt the need to share this with you - I truly
hope you can forgive me and understand....and remember.......
No matter what anyone tells you, you will always be "Daddy's Girl"
I Love You,
~Daddy~
