Hey there Daddy it has been a long time since I have written in here. That don't mean I don't think about you each day. I miss you as if you were just taken from us yesterday. Ceairra and Cydnee miss you as well they just had there birthdays can you believe they are 17 and 10 already. Cydnee had her surgery and I believe you helped to watch over her and make everything ok and we appreciate it so much. We are all doing well but life is just simply not the same without you. I love you so much and think about you often.
With all my heart,

Daddy,
I cannot believe it has been 2 years today since your death. I miss you as much if not more today then I did back then... I feel so lost without you and things are so different without you here. Easter is coming on Sunday and that is the day that you left us so it will be a really hard day for me. I miss you dad and I now realize how much I took you for granted and I am sorry for that. I should have spent so much more time with you and told you more often how much you ment to me and my children. You mean the world to me. Things are so hard without you sometimes I just need you to talk to and your not here but I talk to you anyways hope you hear me. Dad I miss you more and more each day I love you so much and thank you for teaching me all you did. I appreciate all that you have done for me!! I miss you and love you bunches!##imported-begin##Candeeda##imported-end##
Dad,
It has been a long while... So many things have happened. We found out in Dec. that Cydnee has spina bifida. The diformaty she had on her bottom at birth was a huge sign that something was wrong. She had to have surgery on Jan. 23rd and things are getting better slowly. We have all been thinking of you alot lately... I really felt as if you were watching over Cydnee during her surgery and recovery and I would like to thank you for that. We all really miss you bunches. I promise to write again soon. I love you Daddy and miss you so much! Love your #1 Daughter, Candeeda##imported-begin##Candeeda Armstrong##imported-end##

So your a grandpa again brother had a little baby girl on Oct. 11th she is so pretty!!! You would be so proud of brother he is such a good daddy!!! We all knew he would be. Ceairra had her homecoming dance last weekend she looked so beautifull she has been doing really well in high school she just finished up soccer and now it is on to Basketball season. Cydnee is doing great also she is getting to be such a big girl. She is in 3rd grade reading already and only in the 2nd grade isn't that great.

Hi Dad,
I sure do miss you daddy! I have been thinking about you alot lately! Things have been rough for me lately from our car getting stolen to financial issues. Brother on the other hand is buying a house just happens to be a house one of our friends used to live in. You would be so proud of brother he is happily married and has a baby on the way. He is working and likes his job he is a painter. I am sure you know that he has always been good at painting. We went camping last weekend over the 4th of July we had a great time. The kids are doing well. They miss you as we all do. I love you dad and was just thinking about you and wanted to let you know. Keep that spot there for me. See you when I get there. I Love you Sooooo... much!
Your Daughter,

Hi Daddy,
Me and the girls miss you so much!!! Things are just so hard sometimes without you here. Life has took a big time turn I must say! Big difference let me tell ya. I wish I could bring you back to us so badly. Thank you dad for always being there for me and always caring for me. You always made me feel so special you did the same for the girls. Now it seems that they (the girsl) are just not some important to some people the way they used to be. I guess life changes in strange ways don't it. I still have so many questions I wish could be answered about your death. I really wish that I could have paid for a autopsy to be done on you so that there would not be so many ?'s left unanswered. I just could not afford it and I hope you understand. Mom was so worried about being broke she wouldn't pay for one either. She is engaged already can you believe that??? Me either. But she seems happy and that is really important to me as well as you I am sure. I just want you to know that I will always remember all the fun times we spent together and I will never forget you. Sometimes I feel that some people don't think of you enough! I know without you in my life things will never be the same. I love you so much dad and miss you big time. Wish you were here!!
Love always Candeeda##imported-begin##Candeeda (#1 Daughter)##imported-end##
Hi Dad,
The girls just had their first birthdays without you and they both missed you so much. They are growing up so fast! I miss you too dad so much there is just part of me missing with out you here. We just bought a new car that sure was different not haveing you here to come with me to check it out and make sure I got a good deal and didn't buy a lemon. I really think I got a good deal. It's a 1994 ford explorer runs really good and low miles just like you and grams always said I should look for something with low miles. I miss you dearly and think of you daily I love you very very much!!! Good bye for now talk soon. Love your favorite daughter Candeeda##imported-begin##Candeeda Armstrong##imported-end##
Hi Dad,
I sure do miss you!!! We had the first tough man contest here at my work last weekend I just couldn't bear to go without you. Thought of you the whole weekend. Ceairra is starting basketball for school tomorrow she is happy about that. I am trying to find after school care for Cydnee to no avail. You were always the one person I could count on to watch the kids you always made time for them. It was like there was nothing more important to you then your grandkids. I miss that Cydnee and Ceairra do too. Cydnee cries for you all the time and just don't understand why you had to die. I tell you I have a hard time understanding too. Sure has taught me to not take advantage of time cause you never know just how much time you have and should always make time for those who you love dearly. I only wish I could have realized this sooner becuase we would have spent much more time together. I miss you so much dad I wish you were here. I love you daddy your little girl.
