January 3rd, as I sat on your thighs in front of everyone at Auntyâs Darlings memorial,
I kissed you all over your face as if I knew it was my last.
As you tickled me, I went upstairs to grab my phone and record that moment, but I realized it was time for prayers and I didnât make it down before you went home to get some sleep.
I wish I did.
I wish I took pictures this Christmas.
I wish I recorded every single step you took.
Thank you for being the best guy a girl could ever ask for.
I missed you sorely this week, Daddy.
You didnât call me. Itâs been over a month, and I havenât seen PAPS calling. I call to query you if you havenât called in a week. But Daddy, itâs a whole damn month!
Last Sunday, I really needed to update you on mums journey these past 3 weeks, and for a split second, I forgot you wouldnât answer.
Daddy, Kobi has done a great job of calling me âDe Bobosâ... He doesnât sound exactly like you but thank God I have that last voice note you sent saying you miss me, to cover for that.

Writing your obituary has been the toughest thing your girl has had to do.
