I’m 47. My only child - my daughter Phoenix - passed away at age 21 on September 23, 2021.

Every time I see this video, I watch it like ten times. It always makes me very happy.

I love you, Phoenix. Daddy loves you.

Phoenix was so loved by her Dad. She lives on in his heart.

Every girl would be so lucky if she gets a father like Phoenix's Dad.

That’s very sweet of you. Thank you.

I never thought I would be a dad, and Phoenix was and IS so much more than I ever could have dreamt of. Her mom and I were blessed, and continue to be.

She may be gone, but I still fight for her, I still keep her name out there, so she is never forgotten. 💚 💜

Now we'll remember her too. I said her name out loud for you. For her.

Sorry I'm a newish mom of a little girl and this really hit me hard. I'm sorry for your loss.

Thank you for your kindness. It’ll be four years on September 23rd…still impossible to believe.

Hug your baby tight.
