26 Dec 2007 Dear Dad, I miss you. I miss that you didn't take me to the father-daughter banquet when I was a Blue Bird, but Grandpa took me so I still got to go. I miss that you didn't walk me down the aisle at my wedding, but Mom did, so I was given away by someone who loved me. There were many things I missed doing with you, because you gave your life to protect others. I'm so proud of you, and your family was taken care of. You don't have to worry. I cried for you and prayed you would come home. Even though you didn't, I know God is taking care of you just as he has taken care of us. I know you would be happy and proud of the life I have. You may not have been there to see me as I grew up, but the life that I have, that all Americans have, is because of you and others like you. Thank you Dad. I love you. Forever Your Daughter, Terri "Thank you" to all men and women of America's Armed Forces God Bless You Terri Brumley brumley4@uci.net
