It's been almost 12 years since it happened. It's time to move on. I'll always miss you, and Love you, but it's time. I never really got over your death, and even now, I still feel the effects of it. I see images flashing in my head of what it might have been like, topping the hill and then...nothing. I picture myself in your seat, the one that was hit. I also Picture myself as just an innocent on-looker. There was nothing I could have done to help you. Nothing to save your life. It was just your time to go, but now It's my time.
I'll never forget you pulling us out of the dark abyss we called life once, and how happy you made us. I can still see you playing Barbies, holding the doll and her tiny parasol. I can still hear your laughter mixed with our own. How you laughed and danced and played with us. I can still remember the time you put Salt in the tea instead of Sugar. Boy that was horrible. haha. I know it'll be hard, but It's time to let you go. I know you'll always be in my heart and protecting me, but I have to stop dwelling on the past and release it to make room for the present and future.
You'll always be my first Daddy, and I'll always love you. So I guess this is where we say so long, and I'll see you later.
Like the saying goes, "We never say Good-bye to the ones we love." It's true.
I love you, Matt, and I'll see you when it's my turn to meet the clouds. Until then, Please watch over Keeli and I. We both love you and miss you so.
Gone from our lives, Forever in our hearts!

- Title: Letter to a friend and Daddy
- Artist: Sinful Fool
- Description: The Person addressed in this letter was a close person to my heart. He wasn't really my father, But he was the closet thing to it. I only knew him for three or four years, but that was enough time for him to change my life. He was killed in a car accident right outside my house on a hill. The sun got into his eyes and an 18-wheeler hit him. I wasn't allowed to go to the funeral, so I never really got to feel closure. This is my way of moving on, and letting him go.

- Thats pain. There is nothing that hurts more. I know I lost my dad at 4. That didn't matter to me, it was losing my grandpa last year that killed me. I can't say that I know what your going through because I dont, but that doesnt mean that I am not in pain too.
