Daddy,
Every time I watch Rocky I think of how much you loved him and I remember all the times we boxed, your gentle hand sending me a love punch one punch at a time one round at a time one step at a time. My life is surrounded by thoughts of you, my strong gentle Daddy. I love you so much always and forever.
