Daddy,

It's me again. Your favorite daughter, in case you've forgotten. Do you ever think about me? Because sometimes you occupy my mind all day. I miss you. So much it hurts. All I can remember are those last words. The doctor walked in, so you had to go. You hung up the phone, and we said our goodbyes. I just wish I knew then that you wouldn't return. If I had known, I would have hugged you one last time. I would have hugged you so tight that you'd have to stay. But I didn't, because I thought you'd be okay. Daddy, I wonder if you miss me, because I miss you. I miss your smile. I miss your silly dances. I miss your terrible singing. I miss your laughing voice. Most of all, I miss your hugs. I hope this message reaches you, up there in heaven. I hope that you can feel this last hug I'm sending over. Remember that card I made you in fifth grade? The one with the drawing of me with my arms outstretched? Well, this letter is like that card. I love you bunches.

Sincerely, 

Your Little Girl
