Dear, Daddy
Hi remember me?
I'm your daughter Alison.
That night the sky was dreary,
And I was still your deary.
And we all sat gathered together,
Ignoring the weather.
But then why did you?
Scare mom like when a ghost goes "Boo"?
Said you were going to war,
And that your job was to soar.
Now mom started drinking,
And I began thinking,
How would we ever last?
If we cannot forgot the past?
Then Daddy, you never returned,
And I let all our memories burn.
Mommy got dressed in black,
And mom said she was as serious as a heart attack.
She never told me what had happened,
But all I know, is that our life is jagged.
Without you standing here with me,
I can find no sight to see.
So when your trying to get contact,
Do you think you'll ever come back?
Your said I'm your girl. You told me I could ALWAYS count on you. So daddy, come back. Stop making me wait so long. My father/daughter brunch is in three weeks. Will you be attending?
Love, Ali-girl "Sonny"

Dear Miss Monroe,
We have no Gerald Monroe on base anymore. He actually died a couple months ago. Did your mother ever tell you? If she did not, I'm very sorry to deliver this message.
