My dad was the most respectable man and the only person that I could look up to. The only one that I could sit on the back porch with and watch the animals. The only person that I could call every day and he would set the world straight for me. These days I am lost without him here and miss him deeply, although I know he is in a better place. My daddy is looking down on me
