"Daddy, you were always the first man that loved us first, the first man to hold our hands and hearts, the best Santa Claus any little child could believe in. You could always see treasure in other's discarded things; however we always knew we were your own truest treasures. You were the fixer of broken things, but the one thing we wish you could fix now, is our broken hearts... Night Papa, love you and we'll see you when we get Home".
