Daddy, you taught me everything a little girl should know from defending myself and others when they can’t, how to always see what others might not and how to fix something myself if others are unable. You are the one I measure all else too. My friend, my teacher, my daddy and now my angel.

Rest Easy soldier love your little girl.
