"I don't like to talk in front of people, so I'm going to talk to my Dad.
Talking to my Dad was always so easy. You and I we had a very special bond. I was always your little girl and you were my HERO! I always knew that when I grew up I wanted to be just like you. You loved me and everyone you met so unconditionally. But there was no greater love than the love you had for mom.
It was late Saturday night and I was watching you and were just looking at mom. You had so much love in your eyes all I thought was WOW, we should all be so lucky.
If you knew my Dad you knew he loved to play cards. His favourite games was cribbage and euchre. And when he played euchre and you were lucky enough to be his partner my Dad had certain signs for the suit he wanted you to make.
So Dad , my hands is on my heart because I know you have the Jack of Hearts . You are the Jack of Hearts because you trump all.
Till I see you again.
I love you with all my HEART!!!!"
