Am I Still His Baby Girl?
What happens when the man who made you feel protected, cherished, and forever his “Baby Girl” is suddenly gone?
Am I Still His Baby Girl? is an intimate and faith-filled journey through love, loss, chronic illness, family, and healing. Written from the heart, Letitia D. “Tish” Robertson shares the deeply personal experience of losing her father—the man she describes as her covering, protector, compass, and the one who continued calling her “Baby Girl” even when she was a grown woman.
His death left behind more than grief. It created a question that reached to the very center of her identity:
“Am I still his Baby Girl?”
As Letitia navigates the loss of her father while also living with multiple sclerosis, she discovers that grief can challenge not only the heart, but also a person's sense of identity, security, faith, and purpose. Through memories, reflections, prayers, tears, and moments of hope, she begins to understand that the love her father gave her did not disappear when he died.
A Father's Love That Became a Blueprint
This is more than a story about losing a father. It is a celebration of the kind of father whose love shapes a daughter's understanding of her worth.
Letitia reflects on the way her father loved his family, honored her mother, protected his daughters, mentored others, and demonstrated a quiet strength that left an unmistakable impact on everyone around him. His example became her blueprint for love, respect, commitment, integrity, and the way she believes a woman deserves to be treated.
She also shares the heartbreaking experience of watching her mother learn to continue life without her husband and seeing her strong older sister become vulnerable under the weight of losing their father. These experiences reveal an important truth woven throughout the book: grief looks different for everyone, but deep grief is evidence of deep love.
When Grief and Chronic Illness Meet
While grieving her Daddy, Letitia is fighting another deeply personal battle—multiple sclerosis.
There are days when her spirit feels strong while her body feels weak. There are moments when fatigue, pain, physical limitations, and grief collide. Yet it is during those moments that the words “Baby Girl” take on an even deeper meaning.
They become more than a childhood nickname.
They represent love. Protection. Belonging. Identity.
And eventually, the question “Am I still his Baby Girl?” expands beyond her earthly father and into her relationship with her Heavenly Father. She comes to understand that while her earthly father's voice may now live in her memories, she is still seen, loved, covered, and called daughter by God.
For Anyone Who Has Ever Lost Someone They Love
Am I Still His Baby Girl? speaks to daughters who miss their fathers, families navigating grief, people living with chronic illness, and anyone learning how to move forward after losing someone who helped shape who they are.
It does not present healing as forgetting. Instead, it explores healing as learning to carry love forward—through the way we live, remember, believe, love others, and continue the legacy of those who are no longer physically beside us.
This is a book about grief—but it is also about love.
It is about illness—but it is also about resilience.
It is about losing a father—but discovering that the identity, lessons, faith, and love he gave his daughter did not die with him.
And through it all, one answer becomes beautifully clear:
