Papa are you proud of me?
I've been as strong as I can be.
I stayed with you through all the miles.
Even through those scary trials.
I'm in good hands I thought you should know.
I just hope you're up there watching me grow.
Never a day goes by that you don't cross my mind.
Sometimes I see you in the things that we find.
And I remember the times that we spent together.
Memories of us that I'll cherish forever.
I have just one question to ask.
It will be the final task.
Papa are you proud of me?
Have I becom all that you wanted of me?

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
