To the father of the one who cherishes him everyday,

Thank you sir in all that I can give. Never before in my life have a found a woman more grown and mature than your daughter in her own beauty and self worth. I am envious of her, the way she talks about how wonderful you were before your passing. I myself never really had that but, in life, I would have given my best to meet you face to face and shake your hand. There is no respect that I can endow that would best fit the man who brought an amazing woman like her into this world and taught her the importance of life and smiles. You would be proud of her, even though you undoubtedly are already. She dreams unlike any other, inspired by your legacy of love and aspiration. Everyday, she holds the greatest sovereignty about your name and misses you very dearly with all her heart and mind. Pushed by your sacrifice, I know your daughter will reach the heights she has worked so hard to climb. There is not a day that goes by that I feel I am worthy of her and to bear the knowledge of never knowing the man that molded her hands so thoroughly in life. All that I can give now is my gratitude. You will never be forgotten, for even though I can’t see you and possibly never will in person, you’re eyes shine through those of your daughter. I pray they look upon me favorably as I look back in all I can give. Till the end of my life on this earth, your daughter’s smile will forever be a true treasure...as it once was yours.

Until the day we may finally meet another,

Gregory
