The message reads in part: Today, we celebrate your first birthday without you. I do not know if each birthday will get easier since the gap you have left is still very fresh.”
“It is simply a testament to the great man you were, one of whom I will always adore.”
“Daddy, I still feel lost without you, as you always were my rock and guiding light. Even though you are no longer with us, you will still always be my hero.”
