Dear Daddy,
I miss you a lot! I was really sad when you left, but then Mommy said that I could write you a letter every single day. Then, once a week, she would put them all in an envelope and mail them to you! She said she would take them to the post office once a week, and the mailman would mail them all the way to where you are! She even gave me special letter-writing paper and a special letter-writing pen! I love my new pen. It's purple with pink flowers all over it!
After you left, Mommy took me to the pet shop and bought me a betta fish!
Gibbs smiled, remembering his urging Shannon to go get Kelly a pet after he left.
I named my golfish Fi because that's what you say all the time! Now, whenever I look at him, I can remember you! Fi is super cool. He's blue and has a purple and red tail! His tank has blue pebbles on the bottom. Mommy even bought a treasure chest that blows bubbles!
Mommy says I have to go practice piano now. I love you a lot, Daddy! Please come back soon.
Love,
Kelly
A/N: Please review and let me know if you want me to continue or not! These letters are written by Kelly, who's only seven or eight at this point, so that's why they're full of seemingly irrelevant things. However, to Gibbs, who's away from his family, the things that she writes are about are very important. Again, please review! Thanks for reading this far! :)
