Daddy's Letter to his little girl
Dear Nora,
Hi Nora, its been a year. I wish I had something deep and meaningful
to say, or something great I have learned. Well I know that I have
learned that I miss you so much, more each day. I have learned that
I have you in my heart and always will. Nobody can take you from
me, since you are always there. I have learned you have a wonderful
mommy. She has  been there for me always. I have learned that your
big brother Corey is very sensitive and very wise. He knows just when
to give a hug or a kiss. I have learned that Abby, would have been
a wonderful big sister, she is now to you, always thinking of you,
always wanting to do something for you. She talks to you constantly
and answers for you. I have learned also that Corey and Abby are tough
they made it through the last year well. As for your mommy, well,
I believe she is the toughest of all, she has gone through hell this
last year, she almost died, but she fought to live, I believe you gave
her back to me and your brother and sister, so thank you for not
needing her yet. We would have not made it through this last year
without her. It has been very hard making it through the year without
you. I have learned that I can't take your mommy, Corey and Abby
for granted. I have learned that they love me lots,  I have learned
that I am a strong person also. I have learned that you need to live
and love life for it is precious. I have learned that you are precious
whether or not I can physically hold you  in my arms, you are just as
precious in my heart. So I want to thank you, I am glad to have known
you for a second then not to have known you at all. I LOVE YOU
NORA ELIZABETH GROTHE. Thanks for making me a better person.
Love Daddy
