Dear Daddy:
Another year, and you still aren't home. Instead we leave you languishing on some distant shore.
The government tells us No Further Pursuit, guess you just aren't worth their while. I'm sorry dad. I keep trying but they always say "no". I feel like I've let you down. I should be stronger; I should be able to make them change their mind. Funny thing is dad, when you volunteered to go; they never told you that they didn't care. Now 27 years later, you still wait.
Your children are now all grown and we even have kids of our own. Oh, how I wish that you could see them. To play along the beaches here with water that's so clear. Kinda like the times we played before you went away. We teach them all we can you know, about the love and laughter that you have. But we also teach them how to fight, to try to help bring you home.
This isn't what a four-year-old is supposed to know, it's not what he's supposed to do. Why does your grandson have to say, "my grand-dad is on a Wall, cuz our government sent him away? But he got shot down you know in a copter that went BOOM. They won't go back to get him, so I guess I will some day soon". Can someone tell me why a four-year-old has to know that our government doesn't care? Can someone tell him why they don't think that you are worth the price of coming home?
Until We meet,
All my love,
Your little girl
