Our son just came home from Iraq!!! Anyone want to tell him anything?

Question

I have compiled a book of well-wishes from all over the world for him, and it has been a HUGE hit! I want to thank all of you for helping with it and being so supportive of him.

Answer 1

Dear Son, I wish I had the power to write,the thoughts wedged in my heart tonight. As I sit watching that small star,and wondering how and where you are. You know,son, its a funny thing,how close a WAR can always bring.A family who for years with pride,has kept emotions deep inside. I told you real men never
cried; and it was Mom who always dried, your tears and soothed the hurt away, so you soon went back to play. But son, deep down within my heart, I longed to have some little part, in drying that small, tear-stained face, but we were men; men don't embrace. I find my eyes quite won't stay dry; I find that sometimes men do cry. And if we stood face to face, I'm afraid we'd find men do embrace. Son, Dads are quite a funny lot, and if I failed you in some spot. But if I had the power to write the thoughts wedged in my HEART tonight, the words would ring out loud and true; I'm PROUD, my boy- so PROUD of you.

I propose that somewhat of asserting "he would not evaluate you his father" tell him that he would not by way of fact of his movements, and tell him he nonetheless has the possibility to mind-blowing that difficulty, or he is going to lose his toddler. convey which you will tried to maintain an lively verbal substitute link, yet flat out tell him: while you're actually not involved in being his father, Tony is. i do no longer want to place him via thinking why his actual father would not love him. in case you do no longer choose this probability, so be it- yet you're able to understand that at present is the day which you're able to have lost your son.
