POEM 
Letter to PaPa 
When I got the call tears streamed down my face. 
But they didnt last long because I know you 
were going to a happier place. 
June 8, 2016 was the exact day, 
that the angels came and took you far away. 
PaPa I love you and time is gradually passing by, 
only God knows when we will meet again, 
but for now this is my goodbye. 
Love, 
CeCe
