SHIRLEY & I TALK ABOUT OUR DAD ALL THE TIME! SHE MISS'S THE FACT THAT SHE WAS ONLY 1 1/2 YEARS OLD WHEN HE WAS KILLED AND SHE WAS WAY TOO YOUNG TO REMEMBER HIM. IT CHOKES ME UP WHEN SHE ASKS ME IF I THINK "HER DAD" WILL KNOW WHO SHE IS WHEN SHE GETS TO HEAVEN! I TELL HER HE'LL DEFINITELY KNOW WHO SHE IS. THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN SUCH A VOID IN SHIRLEY'S HEART FOR HAVING ONLY HAD STEP-FATHER'S HER WHOLE LIFE. DAD WILL WELCOME ALL OF HIS KID'S INTO HEAVEN WHEN WE GET THERE. HE'LL HAVE HIS ARMS STRETCHED OUT WIDE OPEN WANTING HUGS N' KISS'S FROM EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US! XOXO
