My daddy, My daddy what am I going to do without you? I'm so used to seeing you almost everyday. Rubbing your legs,face,and feet.by the time I would get to your feet you would say " I'm tired of this" cause you would be ready for me to leave you alone so could go to sleep 😂 but whatever I had to do to soothe you I try my best to do..Now it is know more.. I'm so loss right now.. where do I go from here? You were my best friend!! Although I cared for you as if you were my child 😂. I will miss our arguments when I was trying to get you to eat or not smoke so many cigarettes. You would tell me to shut up. Or even when I missed a day from coming to see you. And soon as I would walk in I would say." Hey baby did you miss me" You would look at me and say"what you think" then I would say " I don't know you tell me" Then you would say " yeah" I will love you forever daddy. I miss you so much 😘💚 until we meet again I love you!!
