Dear Daddy, I just lost 2 weeks now! I can’t even say that you were a bad dad because you were the best dad in the world. You were old. You were only 67 years old like how old mom is now. I love you so much to the moon and back. You are my best friend. You know when I’m happy, sad, mad, and etc. I just can’t believe that you’re gone. RIP Daddy. RIP Best Friend
