Hope After Loss: Baby Steps

Daddy,

Honestly, finding words is hard. Like really, I type and then I erase.

Like Brice told me the other day, we grew up in an exceptional family. The example was set by my papa Proctor and you have followed suit.

I know parents are supposed to be proud of their kids but man am I proud of my Dad.

I am blessed that both my parents have raised me with a religious background.

Dad, you have set the example of not only an earthly father but the love of my Heavenly Father. For that, thank you will never be enough.

I know people joke about how spoiled I am, and let’s be honest, I am, but I hope you know there isn’t a moment when I’m not grateful for what you have done for me.

I always tell Brice I hope we have a little girl so he can have a small glimpse of what a father-daughter relationship is like.

I know not everyone has a relationship with their father like I do and I will always cherish the bond we share.

P.s. When you’re old and you can’t make me a milkshake, I promise I’ll make them for us.

I love you, Dad!

– your baby girl.
