"I feel like, going to my daughter's funeral, I went to my own funeral."But Miller said her death will serve as a catalyst for a new mission."I said, 'I'm gonna turn my pain into passion and I'm gonna turn it into a purpose because I can’t get my daughter back.' I love her and think about her every day, and it took me and my family to go through something that I just can’t stop thinking about but I realize that I have to get out here and help and save other kids," he said.
