The words that seem more poignant now than ever

THEY are words of love from a daughter who clearly adores her father. In a Valentine’s card, above, Meghan writes: ‘Daddy, Everything you do for me has turned me into who I am and I am so grateful.

‘All I want to do is make you proud… and I promise, no matter what, I’ll do it. Thank you for everything daddy. I love you with all my heart now and forever. Love Bean’ – her childhood nickname.

And in a Christmas card, left, showing a colourful llama, she writes: ‘Because you have always been so generous with me… it brings me so much joy to be able to give you this this Christmas. I love you to no end. Meg.’ Inside was a gift of $2,000 for a holiday.
