Danny was sat in the hospital. Mrs Elliott was engrossed in a television program with the headphones in. He was sat looking at his daughter and the letter she had wrote him. This was written before she found about him being her dad. He was worried about it's content. She wouldn't go out of her way to be mean but if there was anything about Josh in here he was likely to go a little bit crazy. He remembered his episodes nearly a month ago. It scared him thinking about those times. How close he had actually been to going over the edge. I mean it was literally like being on a icy precipice and he was on the tip. One nudge was all it would have taken for him to go insane. At least Ethan had been there to make him see sense. And then he immersed himself in supporting his daughter. It was at that moment he knew that the letter would be fine. Coz she is HIS daughter. And she loves him. He opened the envelope. And made himself comfortable.
Daddy,
Your baby girl here. Whether I'm still here or not I want you to read this letter. And read it carefully too. Coz hopefully this letter will tell you how much you mean to me. (Although that would be hard to put into words coz it's quite a lot actually) this letter is probably the easiest I will write. Not because I don't love you as much as anyone else. it's because I'm a daddies girl I think and we're closer than close. Mum's was hard coz I love her and I know shelves me and it was trying to be strong in her letter. Ethan's was hard coz of the way I feel about him. I sorta struggle to express myself clearly and eloquently. I can become a bit incoherent around him. Ok too much info. Daniels was hard coz I don't know him you know and it felt a bit stilted and polite if you can understand that. But not yours,. Nope. Your my daddy. You're my number one in the whole world. Fathers and daughters share this unspeakable bond you know. I still remember something you told me when I was little. I told you I was never getting married coz my name would be different and I wouldn't be your daughter anymore. You then told me in a soft voice that a son is a son till he gets a wife. A daughter is a daughter for the whole of her life. That saying there I fill up when I hear it coz it completely told me how much you love me.
I'm sorry I was….let me think of a correct term, nasty bitchy horrible evil. Ok I'll say bag. I'm sorry a was a little bag to you. Ah yes bag. I remember you called me that when I worked myself when I was little. I remember thinking bag of what ha ha ha. Anyway I was just mean and spiteful and I am sorry! You're an amazing father and I really don't deserve you but that's the way it is. You Mr Trevanion are stuck with me FOREVER! Scary thought huh? You are an amazing dad though. Far better than anyone else I can think of and I am your sunshine. I changed the song. Listen
I am your sunshine.
Your ray of sunshine.
I shine on you
When skies are grey.
You'll never know dad
How much I love you.
I'll shine down on you everyday.
Ta daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Did I make you cry? Go on admit it I did. Soppy man ha-ha. But seriously your my daddy and if I do go away I will be in every ray of sunshine that touches your face. Shining down on you every day forever! About my unpleasant actions recently I realised something. I don't care if biologically not my father. So what. So you weren't there at conception. EWWWWWW! Enough said. You've been there for all the other important moments in my life which is infinitely more important. Picked my up when I feel down. Loved me. Laughed at me when I was being stupid. Taught me to laugh at myself and not be too serious. You never once criticized me if I failed. Just encouraged me which gave me the drive to succeed so I could make you proud. you made me realise that falling wasn't failing. Just a set back on the road of life. God I'm going all wise woman on you. Would you like a deep filli, phillosifcal damn where's a spell check when I need it ha-ha. Wait a minute. Right would you like a deep philosophical discussion with me? What is the meaning of life? (I asked that in a serious tone) Not right now I'll hold you to that later though! You'll never truly know how much you mean to me. As my father. God I'm crying now! See what I do to myself! Ha-ha x
Let me try to put into words and explain to you how you were the best dad ever. Ok lets think….. You always seemed sort of, I dunno. Like unselfish. You'd do anything for us and we all knew that. You showed me so much taught me so much by being there and just being you. By the way you lived your life. I know it's seriously cheesy but you were my first hero. Like a knight in a story or something. You taught me how a man should love his family. How a husband should love his wife. How a father should protect and nurture his kids. You taught me how to live my life well and to the full. You always tell everyone that you are the happiest man in the world and I get the feeling you mean it too. You told me once that if you stood at the top of a mountain and looked at the road of you life you made the right choice at every turn because every turn brought you to that moment with mum and me and Ethan. And now I stand on my mountain looking back on my short life and although some of my turns were dodgy and ill informed and just plain wrong! I do know one thing I started my road from the best possible place anyone ever could. My fathers loving arms.
Right I'm all out now. You'll probably come in here from getting coffee and see me bawling my eyes out like a baby. The you'll pull me in your arms and make me better in the way only a father can.
I love you daddy. Always.
Your loving daughter.

Beyonce - Daddy
Even if my man broke my heart today
No matter how much pain I'm in I will be okay
Cause I got a man in my life that can't be replaced
For this love is unconditional it won't go away
I know I'm lucky
Know it ain't easy
For men who take care of their responsibilities
Love is overwhelming
Lord why did you pick me
Can't stop my tears from falling
I love you so much daddy
Ps I want you to listen to the whole song coz I only added in a small bit but the whole thing reminds me so much of you love u x
Awww Lexi you've gone and made your father cry! He wiped his eyes with the back of his hand. He'd never doubt his daughters love again. She literally poured her heart and probably her soul into this letter too. All this stuff she talked about that he seriously wasn't even aware that he did! Awww baby girl daddy loves you too. More than you ever know. And I'm so proud of you! He told her silently. No one will love you more than your daddy does! And I know somehow you will find the strength to beat this. Coz I'm not allowing my daughter to go away. Not after reading that. You are my baby and I love you sweetie.
A/N i haven't really gt anything to say except aww lol. for once big mouth danh2010 has nothing to say wow lol x
