My Dearest Samantha;
I heard today that the first kids that Santa visits are the little angels in heaven. Did you make your wish list for Santa to see? You don't get a free pass on naughty so I hope you've been nice. When you're done with your list just one thing more, ask Santa if he can grant your dad just one wish if he could. If he could grant me that one wish the wish would be this, for your mom and I to have you back in our arms for just one more day. I promise I won't get greedy and ask for more time, just one more day is all I ask. You left so sudden as you well know and I didn't even have the chance to tell you how much I loved you. That would be the first thing I'd tell you if given the chance, the second would be I'm sorry. Sorry that I couldn't protect my little girl like all daddy's should. For just one day I'd like to see the happiness return to your mother's face and hear the laughter that's been missing from your brother's voice. Oh and the third thing would be to hold you until it was time to let you go. For just one day.
Your birthday is right after, you get another wish. Please ask god to grant your daddy this one wish. I want to join you in heaven, if only for a day. Spread your wings and let me see how high you can fly. That sight I want to see so that it'll last with me til I am ready to join you again. I want to hold your hand in heaven and walk past the gates. I imagined rolling hills with daffodils, beautiful weeping willows and colorful butterflies that flutter without a care in the world. Let me see you do hand stands and cartwheels while laughing with joy. I want to chase you barefoot through the clouds playing hide n go seek and read you your bedtime story while putting you to sleep. I'd stroke you hair and touch your face remembering how it was. For just one more day.
Love,
Daddy

Sam, All you have to do is close your eyes and you will see your beautiful little girl. Talk to her everyday because she does hear you. I am not ready for you to join her in heaven and I know that Lilly and Jonathon is definately not ready. This is really a sucky time especially near the holidays and Samantha's birthday, but please remember that you still have an unbelievable little boy and an amazing wife, (even though she didn't make you breakfast the other morning and she can be f**** mean)(inside joke for those of you who read this). They need you more than ever and you need them just as much, and so do we (all your friends and family). You will be with Samantha again. She is with you wherever you go and watches whatever you do. I believe this with my whole heart. So talk to her, she is listening and she will show some signs to you that she is with you. We all miss her very much and wish that she is back with you. That would be my Christmas wish for you!!! Hang in there my Friend.
