Dearest Alexis:

I want you to know that I will always love you. The distance between us at this time cannot stop or change that.

You have always been and still are my "Angel On Earth" and now I'm "Your Angel in Heaven". We're both angels now.

Althougth I won't be there physically for every precious moment in your life, I want you to know that I will still see you.

I will watch you when you go to school. I will shine when you are sleeping at night. Just look for the star that is shining the brightest, that's me smiling at you.

I will be with you when you go to your first party. I will be there when you go on your first date. I will be there when you fall in love and I'll be there when you marry.

I'll be there when you have children and when you are raising them. I'll be there for every event of your life. I wouldn't want to miss any of them.

I know you'd like to have me there in person, and I wish I could as well, but I'm here in Heaven now. I'm waiting for you. Don't rush. There's no need to hurry. I'm okay here. I get to do all kinds of nice things and my main job is to be your Guardian Angel. So even though you can't see me, know that I'm there and always will be.

I never got to say "Goodbye" to you but you are so young and I'm sure you wouldn't understand that my goodbye would mean
that you couldn't see me again for a very long time.

I made a mistake that cost me being with you and being there for every moment of your life. Don't you make that mistake.
Don't ever drink and drive. Don't ever let someone else who has been drinking drive you either.

You will get to see me later on. I don't want you to come here before your time. Don't rush getting here. I love being your Guardian Angel. I'll be waiting for that moment when you do come to hold you and hug you again.

My darling little daughter, as you grow up, I want you to know that you are loved and always will be. I love you.

I will send messages (angels can do that) to others to do things for me - like update my letters to you as you grow older, and update my poems to you as you grow older. Always know that I love you. I always will....til the end of time.

Plus, I'm going to get your Aunt Melissa to make special pages for your birthday, christmas, and every special event in your life. Know that I'm always thinking about you.

Daddy's Little Girl

Her hair up in a pony tail,
her favorite dress tied with a bow,
Today was Daddy's Day at school,
and she couldn't wait to go,
but her mommy tried to tell her,
that she probably should stay home.
Why the kids might not understand,
if she went to school alone.
But she was not afraid,
she knew just what to say,
What to tell her classmates,
on this Daddy's Day.

But still her mother worried,
for her to face this day alone,
and that was why, once again,
she tried to keep her daughter home.
But the little girl went to school,
eager to tell then all,
about a dad she never sees,
a dad who never calls.

There were daddies along the wall,
in back for everyone to meet,
Children squirming impatiently,
anxious in their seats.
One by one the teacher called,
a student from the class,
to introduce their daddy
as seconds slowly passed.

At last the teacher called her name,
and every child turned to stare,
Each of them were searching,
for a man who wasn't there.
"Where's her daddy at?"
she heard a boy call out
"She probably doesn't have one,"
another student dared to shout.
And from somewhere near the back,
she heard a daddy say,
"Looks like another deadbeat dad
too busy to waste his day"

The words did not offend her,
as she smiled at her friends,
and looked back at her teacher,
who told her to begin.
With hands behind her back,
Slowly she began to speak,
And out from the mouth of a child,
came words incredibly unique:

"My Daddy couldn't be here,
because he lives so far away,
but I know he wishes
he could be with me on this special day".
And though you cannot meet him,
I wanted you to know,
all about my daddy,
and how much he loves me so.

He loved to tell me stories,
he taught me to ride my bike,
he surprised me with pink roses,
and taught me to fly a kite.

We used to share,
fudge sundaes and ice cream in a cone,
and though you cannot see him,
I'm not standing all alone.
'Cause my daddy's always with me,
even though we are apart.
I know because he told me,
he'll forever be here,
in my heart"

With that, her little hand reached up,
and lay across her chest.
Feeling her own heartbeat,
beneath her favorite dress.
From somewhere in the crowd of dads,
her mother stood in tears,
proudly watching her daughter,
who was wise beyond her years.
She stood up for the love,
of a man not in her life,
doing what was best for her,
doing what was right.

When she dropped her hand back down,
staring straight into the crowd,
she finished with a voice so soft,
but its message clear and loud.
"I love my daddy very much,
he's my shining star,
If he could he'd be here,
but heaven's just too far.

Sometimes when I close my eyes,
it's like he never went away"
Then she closed her eyes,
and saw him there that day,
To her mother's amazement,
she witnessed with surprise,
a room full of daddies and children,
all starting to close their eyes.

Who knows what they saw before them,
who knows what they felt inside ,
perhaps for a second,
they saw him at her side.
"I know you're with me Daddy,"
to the silence she called out,
What happened next made believers,
of those once filled with doubt.

No one in that room could explain it,
for each of their eyes had been closed,
but there placed on her desktop,
was a beautiful fragrant pink rose.
A child was blessed,
if only a moment,
by the love of her shining bright star,
and given the gift of believing,
that heaven is never too far.
