(4) Blessed are those who mourn ,
For they shall be comforted .
My daddy always gave the best hugs, for no reason at all he would just walk up to me and hold me tight just because he loved me. Those are memories I will always treasure. I wish I could have one of those hugs right now. I love you Daddy so much and I will miss u as long as I live.
I miss you so much; not a moment goes by that I don’t think of you. I know you are in a better place now though. Love you always
