    My Dad Passed Away Two Weeks Ago. I Found A Letter That He Wrote To Me

    Handwritten note from dad expressing love and pride for his daughter, emphasizing her value and purity.

    "You are more precious than diamonds, more pure than gold. I love you and am so proud that you are my daughter.
    I love you.
    P.S. It’s all I had."

    He used to leave me cash when I was younger (I'm 23 now), so "It’s all I had" refers to the money he left me with the note.
    I had a baby 4 months ago and had my baby shower last October. He was extremely broke and couldn’t get me anything. All I wanted was a handwritten letter from him, one written to me and one written to my baby. I felt I was in a place a couple of nights ago to be able to read it, and it was the hardest thing ever. These are the things I’ll carry with me forever.

Bonus: It's white and colorable for her own decorative flair.
