We felt honored that you would choose to visit us during your brief respite from deployment. Everyone read your blog post last night and we are delighted that you had such a good time. You are always welcome in our home. <BR/><BR/>While it may not be obvious to you, it is obvious to me why my daughters took such a shine to you. You treated each of them as individuals, worthy of notice, full of talent, and gave them the full measure of human dignity – irrespective of their ages (and I will note that you were correct in their ages across the board – further evidence of how you treated them). This behavior is far too rare in today’s world, all the more reason for them to cherish it from you. <BR/><BR/>You will delighted to know that all three love to read, and I have it on good authority that they do in fact treasure the books and are delighted by the stories you gave them for Christmas. In fact, it is my understanding they have been reading each other’s books… :-) I have been “tasked” upon occasion to read "Cheerful" and will confess that I am unable to do so with your flair and style, much to my daughter’s disappointment. <BR/><BR/>As to the concern you expressed to Mrs. LTC K that D3 may have replaced you with her affections for CPT J, D3’s response when asked was, “I like CPT J and CPT S, but I LOVE CH Meier!” You have nothing to fear, you are still first in her heart.<BR/><BR/>Finally, while it is kind of you express your gratitude for the “mentoring” that I have provided you, the truth is that you have given me far more wise counsel than the other way around. <BR/><BR/>Safe travels and God’s speed until we meet again.<BR/><BR/>Sincerely, <BR/><BR/>LTC K & FamilyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
