I called him Daddy.
He called me Baby.
We weren't rich
But, he worked hard
and provided for all of us
The only guy in a house full of girls |
He never wore suits
just work clothes, shoes or boots.
Except for my wedding day -
the day he gave me away.
But, he didn't give me away -
not really.
Because he was always my daddy
and I was always his baby,
until the day he passed away.
Happy Father's Day, Daddy
I miss you so much
- today and always -
janet, this is absolutely beautiful, and the photos enhance the words.
