Prayers for Daddy

We just received our first of hopefully many phone calls we will receive from Ivan while he is gone. Ivan said he and the others are doing well and that they just got to their "destination." OMG....they left on Saturday! WOW, thats a very long trip! The call was only about 3 minutes long, but he got to hear Sofie "talking" away! I don't care how long the call is, it is just great knowing he is okay. Please keep Ivan and all of our men and women who serve in your thoughts and prayers. God Bless

My daddy is a soldier he’s often gone away to some far off country where he has to stay. I really miss my daddy and I’m not sure what he does except he helps other people who need him very much. At night when I say my prayers I ask to keep daddy safe so that he can come home to us and sit in his favourite place. Some nights I can hear mommy cry when she thinks I’m asleep I know she misses daddy and her sadness hurts real deep. My daddy is a soldier he’s often gone away And I am so very proud of him each and every day. Come home to us daddy when your job is done I know that those people needed you, but they aren’t the only ones.
Love, Sofia

Wow, that is such a beautiful poem! Did you write that? It brought tears to my eyes. I am keeping Ivan in my prayers and I hope he is home with you and Sofia very soon. God bless him for what he is doing for our country though! That is a beautiful picture of Sofia with her daddy.
