Dear Mom and Dad, (not that I really know what is going on, since Barney is on and they don’t let me see scary stuff) but this is the thing…
We at camp are all thinking of those at Fort Hood, and all the families and friends of those at Fort Hood. Thinking of Aunt Sam! ( it is said Aunt Sam left Fort Hood ‘for training’ the night before all of this, so that is good. I am also glad to hear my cousin Cody is safe with his Mimi in TN.) Still this so sad for so many! It is all so terribly wrong… so so very sad. Tonights love letter, short, Nana is so tired – and while she is so relieved that I am not on base…. she cannot help but feel odd writing cute things, and making light on a day where so many people won’t get a love letter, or a photo of their son or daughter, or see a mom or dad…
They have not said much about those hurt, but one young lady was 19… and shot in the stomach they say… most difficult to believe is that she was IN A PLACE WHERE SHE WAS THOUGHT TO BE SAFE… and was defenseless…. IT IS ALL so very SENSELESS! Arrrggghhhh!
I am so happy to be at Camp Nana, and I am feeling very safe. Tragedy can happen any where at any time, but who would think…Fort Hood!
I am so glad you and daddy are okay…wow, think about it… in a war in the Land of Sand, or facing the unimaginable at home? Neither is a good option… but knowing I am safe in the Mitten State, well, that is something for all of us to be grateful for huh?
Here is a wish for all who have been hurt today hoping that they find a way to get through this day sending my hope for P E A C E! Until tomorrow, please know that I am as always, your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,
Guillianna… the crawling little teether princess who awaits your SAFE return!
Dear Guillianna,
Although having your mom and dad in the land of the sand is no picnic for them, when the news came out yesterday afternoon about their base, I was so happy they were not there and that you are in your special camp with your loving campers. Please send them my love and I will see you soon.
Love you,
Cuz Nanc
