                                         Happy Birthday, my precious Donna

Today is Tuesday, October 14, your birthday. I was blessed to have you for nineteen
years.
I always admired you for your intelligence, selflessness, kindness, and generosity. I will
never forget the day you born.  I was in the birthing room, a proud father, seeing you
for the first time, your beautiful face with your big bright eyes. Unlike other newborns,
you did not cry; instead, you opened your eyes upon arrival in this wild, unpredictable
world and just stared
at me.  I fell in love with you that exact moment, such a beautiful day it was, one of my
best days ever. You brought sunshine to my life. I lived and breathed for you, I have so
many unaccomplished dreams yet for you.

It has been 477 long and grueling days since I last heard your gentle laugh. You were
ripped away from us senselessly, for unknown reasons. With never a good-bye, all I
have to rely on are my wonderful memories of our good times together. You vanished
so violently, torn away from your family without a trace.  Your absence is unbearable;
I am in constant pain.
A dark cloud follows me wherever I go now.  For me, you were the sun and the sun has
now stopped shining.  Hardly anything interests me anymore except finding you and
bringing you back home.  Only then I will be able to start living again.

I try to put on the face that others want to see, but inside there is a total void, leaving
me unrecognizable to myself.  My face that once smiled readily and often is now stained
with tears---a face that looks, waits, and hopes for a miracle.

I love you Donna and miss you so much, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LOVE.
Your Dad
