hey daddy its almost my birthday next month I’ll be 15! cant believe I’m already turning 15. I’m trying to work on the pt cruiser to get it up n running again so that by the time I’m old enough to drive I have something left of ya. I plan on getting a sports bike when I’m older but I don’t know, we’ll see. school is starting next month to, that’s gonna be hell and I really don’t wanna go but I guess I “need my education” I miss you alot things are so different since you died and I honestly don’t feel like I have a purpose anymore here without you but I know you wouldn’t want me to give up so easily. I’m trying but its hard, I wanna just be happy again but you were my happiness and I’m sad, or happy I’m just here. you know, I still think about what you told me, to find someone that grows flowers in the darkest parts of you even where the sun can’t reach. alora is obviously still one of those people but I want someone to share a relationship like I did with you. you were and still are my everything person. I just wish I found someone that made me as happy as you did daddy you were all that I had left and things are really difficult without you, I wish you were still here, and I know you are but I just wish things would go back to the way they were and that u never died. I love you so much and ill keep working hard for things that I want and need in life I promise daddy.
I love you bunches,
your daughter, Hannah.L.Murray
