Baby Girl’s Wedding Day

Folder: 
IRAQ War II

Dear Daddy, it is my wedding day.

I wish you could be here to give me away.

Mom’s new husband, Ed, is good in many ways,

But he can never ever take your place.



I asked to be alone for a minute or two,

So I would have an opportunity to write to you.

It is something I vowed to do,

To keep your memory alive and true.



Oh Daddy, I know you are here in my heart,

It is so hard being so far apart.

Daddy, I love you and miss you every day,

And your picture in my memory has begun to fade.



Daddy, I promise to never forget you,

I wish you could have met Andy before we say, “I do”,

But Daddy we will hold high what you stood for

Cause Andy and I met at Officer Training in the Marine Corp.



Gotta go now and walk that aisle,

I send my love, a big HUAH!!! And a smile.



I love you Daddy

Your Baby Girl.
