Analysis of True Love Has Its Secrets
I don't know exactly how to express my love for you. When trying to find the right words I fail. But, I do love you, I'm sorry if I've failed to show you.
I not only love you as parents and relatives, but, you both are very good and close friends to me.
You both are very kind, beautiful and understanding.
Dad, This little notation is especially for you, it may seem that I have no love for you, but, remember this through eternity.
My love for you will always stay,
Even when life itself has passed away.
With all my love,
your daughter,
Lori Holloway
