Thank you for sharing.
Dear Mr. Price,
Thank you for your service.
I am not a veteran, and I cannot speak to the joy of coming home to my children after a deployment, but I am a father, and I CAN speak to the love that I have for them, and they for me.
There is a world of difference between exploiting a child's grief, and celebrating her unspeakable joy and love for her Dad. You will remain at a great loss unless and until you can come to understand the difference.
Viewing such pure love is a humbling experience.
We are reminded of the actual truth before which we kneel.
The existence of love is a miracle.
As A Retired USAF Medic (IDMT), I saw the tragic side of war first hand. I would much rather see this beautiful child suprised at the return of her Dad. Too often these days the tragic return of our deseased commrads are the big news, we don't see this out standing example of love enough. After all a solider or not we are still fathers & mothers and are only doing our duties to keep our love ones safe. what a beautiful heart felt reminder of what we are defending back home.
Don't think it's child abuse if the child, and her family, in question agrees to the distribution. That being said...
I am so moved by the pride this child has for her father. I don't know what moved me more, her pride in her dad or her joy at his return. Both are inspiring.
Take Care and Bright Blessings!
