Dear Daddy,

I got all of your letters today! I drew you a picture yesterday! It's a picture of me, you, and Mommy all together when you come back! And you won't ever have to go to war again!

I went to the pool with Maddie today. We had a lot of fun! I even jumped off of the diving board without any floaties on! I can swim really far, Daddy! I can't wait to show you! You're going to be so proud of me!

Next week I'm going to Grandma Joann's! Mommy and I are going to take the train! I'm really excited! I haven't seen Grandma Joann in a super long time!

I miss you, Daddy. I think Mommy does too. Sometimes I see her looking at your picture and she's crying! (Don't tell her that I told you, though.) Please come home soon! I love you lots, Daddy!

Love,

Kelly
