(4 year old, Isabella Trudeau misses her daddy, Andy Trudeau who died when she was 3 years old.)

It's been a year daddy

I really, really miss you

Mommy says you're safe now

In a beautiful place called Heaven

We had your favorite dinner tonight

And I ate it all up

Even though I don't like carrots

I learned how to swim this summer

And I can even open my eyes,

when I'm underwater

Can you see me? I miss you daddy

(Isabella is five now and she started kindergarten)

It's been two years daddy

I started kindergarten this year

I carry a picture of us, in my princess lunch box

You are the greatest daddy

I miss how you used to let me ride you like a horse

I try now to cry

Auntie Phoebe says it's ok

I know you don't like it when I cry

You never wanted me to be sad

I miss you daddy

(Isabella is now 9 years old and she misses her daddy still)

It's been six years daddy

I'm in fifth grade now

I really like computers,

but math is hard

Aunt Piper lets me sleep in one of your t-shirts

I think it still smells like you

I don't need to sleep with the light on anymore

I try not to cry daddy, but it still hurts

I really miss you, daddy

Can you see me?

(13 year old, Isabella is a freshman in high school and misses her daddy)

It's been ten years daddy

I started high school

I made the honor roll,

I hope you're proud of me

I'm also on the cheer team, like mommy was

Can you say hi to her for me?

Tell mommy I miss her and love her

Can you see me?

I started thinking about colleges

Do you think I can be an actress?

I know you'll be with me when I walk down the aisle

I try not to be sad

But it hurts

I hope you know you're my hero

I love you so much

Can you see me?

(16 year old, Isabella was taught how to drive by her Uncle Leo)

It's been thirteen years, daddy. Uncle Leo taught me to drive

I wish you were alive to teach me

I miss you daddy

I'll see you in heaven, okay

I love you, daddy

(Isabella is now 18 years old. She is old enough to make her own decisions)

It's been fifteen years, daddy

I hope the elders will let me summon you and mommy

I miss you both so much

I love you mommy and daddy

(Isabella is now 25 years old and she is getting married to the love of her life. His name is Marcus Black)

It's been twenty-two years daddy

I'm getting married today

I wish you were hear to walk me down the aisle

Uncle Leo is going to give me away at the wedding

I'll imagine it's you, ok

I love you daddy

Can you see me?

(two years later, Isabella is 27 and she just had her first child, a daughter whom she named, Prudence Andrea Halliwell.)

It's been twenty-four years daddy

I have a daughter now

I named her after mommy and her middle name is a girl version of yours

I really miss you daddy

I hope you are watching over me

I love you daddy
