(Inspired by the episode "Period of Adjustment.")
Absentee Dad
Sweetheart, it was really funny, when Erin first saw Radar in his uniform, she ran up to him and said, Hi Daddy.
Really funny…
Really funny…
Not funny at all.
Sugar and spice and everything nice.
Scraped knees and braces and holding hands with boys. Giggles and malted milk shakes and Saturday night sock hops.
Your daddy wants to be there as you grow up. He wants to be your best friend and your shoulder to lean on and your confidant.
But right now, he's some guy in a uniform, thousands of miles away.
No. That's not funny at all.
