March 16,2006 Poem by BreAnna Davis

"March 16,2006"
14 years ago today, my daddy was killed in a car wreck. He was taking from me 13 days after my 3rd birthday. On March 16,1992 @ 10: 30p.m my life had changed forever & I was too little to realize it. But I'm older now & I'm starting to. I never really thought about daddy when I was little, because nobody ever talked about him, so I thought I didn't have a daddy. But now that I've gotten older, it really hurts me, knowing that I never got to know my daddy or have a Father-Daughter dance.

I've never thought about what it would be like to have a daddy. Like what would be different? I do know that I've missed out on the best times with daddy. And I don't even have memories because I was too little. Mom has told me stories about him, & God, how I would have loved to have been there, or a little older for memories. Memories of his voice, what he smelled like, his favorite things. I would have loved to have known him.

Mom told me the night daddy was killed, she wanted to go with him because they were drunk & she would have drove. But daddy wouldn't let her go, so she told him that if he left "It was over" & he walked out the door & we never saw him again. I wondered most when I was little what I had done to deserve not to have a daddy. Is there something wrong with me? But now I sit & wonder, Why me? What did I do to deserve this pain?

God must have needed an Angel in Heaven, to keep me safe & under his wing. So out of the millions of people there are in this world he chose *Terry Lynn Ferguson* (my daddy) the one & only Angel to watch over me from Heaven above.

*God chose you out of all the rest because he knew I'd love you the best.

*I love & miss you daddy & I wish you were here to see your grand baby grow up to be a little man.
