Letter To My Daughter! (written 3/12/04)
Dear Emilee,
This very difficult for me to write you,
but there is some things you really should know. You came into my life when you were just 5 months old. You came to us because where you were living with your biological mother who was being sexually harassed by her stepfather. Emilee, I never wanted you hurt, so we drove 4 hours to wrap you up in blankets and come live with us. Emilee, you and I made a connection that day! Your sparkling brown eyes melted my heart! I swore from that day forward, I would try and be the best father figure I could be for you. Since I am growing older, and have no kids of my own. I think God planned it that way, so I could give you all the love and special protection that you needed that only a daughter can get from a true father. Well Emilee, it seemed like over night, Da Da Da Da you would run around the house calling out my name! Everytime I show up at your Aunt Suzie's to pick you up, no matter if your in a dead sleep, you wake up and watch for the door, waiting for me to show up! Now you follow me around and we have so much fun! Most men want a son, but to me your heaven sent from up above!
Now Emilee, I may face the fact of losing you because you're biological mom wants you back! I don't want you to go, because I don't think she really knows how much you're loved right here with us. Emilee always know that no matter what happens baby! Da Da loves you! As long as I am breathing, I am here for you! Whatever I have and you need darling child, it's yours. Always promise me to never ever try hurting others, don't lie, or cheat! Be honest and patient. Create your own destiny! Emilee always know this, you can always call me daddy, because to me you'll always be my daughter!
I love you so much! I already miss you and you're not even gone. So if you remember back to these last few days and think I was being too loving and caring! I just wanted to thank you for all the memories and sharing! I love you and am so proud of you darling girl with fiery red hair!
