A Message To My Father Nothing can compare too a fathers love for his daughter. In the beginning a daughter learns how to love through their father’s unconditional love. A daughter looks up to their father because they give guidance to shape their lives as women. A father gives their daughter self-esteem, and confidence to overcome any obstacles. You Daddy have given me the best example on how to live my life. I Eva your daughter will never forget the love and hope you placed in my heart I will carry on your memory forever more.
Your Loving Daughter, Eva
