I left for Afghanistan when you were 9 months old. Leaving you was the hardest thing I\u2019ve ever had to do. You are so very special to me sweetie \u2013 you are truly a gift from God. The best day of my life was the day you were born. Every time I saw you smile my heart would just melt. You were my sweetie \u2013 my life was not complete until you were born.<\/p>\n<p>I am so sorry I will not be able to see you grow up. But remember, your Daddy is not gone. I am in heaven now smiling down on you every day. You are so very lucky to have such a wonderful Mom to take care of you. Make sure you are good for her and help her out whenever you can. Always remember to say your prayers at night and be thankful for all your many blessings. Never forget how important and special you are to so many people. We love you so very much. When you get older and start school, do your best and try to learn as much as you can about the world you live in. Always be nice and caring to others and you will discover that the world will be nice to you. But when things aren\u2019t going your way, never forget that God knows what is best for you and everything will work out in the end.<\/p>\n<p>You have such a bright and beautiful future ahead of you. Have fun. Enjoy it. And remember, your Daddy will always be proud of you and will always love you. You are and will always be my sweetie.<\/p>\n<p>With very much love,<\/p>\n<p>Your Daddy<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Gimme Shelter<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"600\" height=\"371\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GJtq6OmD-_Y?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Collected by prosebeforehos Before departing for a tour in Afghanistan, First Lieutenant Todd Weaver left a note to his 9 month year old daughter.
