Be My Soldier Forever

Ep. 81

LETTER 1

From, Evan. Father son

Dear father, dear,

I don't want to call you baby because Evan doesn't understand what it means, I think I'll write Tiger there, but I don't call you that.

The tiger? Dad's not a tiger, tiger's an animal, right? And you're not an animal, you're my father.

I like to call you, very good father. A brave soldier but everyone in the house told me that you're not a soldier anymore.

Even Alan's uncle, he said it didn't make sense. But to me, Dad is the greatest warrior.

I love you dad.

I wish I could fight with you.

I've been able to learn how to write and show Dad how good my writing is.

All my friends have their moms and dads, their dads always pick her up after school hours are over.

But for me, be it mom or Uncle Alan, it doesn't matter if he picks me up.

But right now, I want Dad to pick me up, so Evan can show you our new home, right before we buy it.

My friend always says some joke things and laughs with his family, just like them, I also want to laugh with Dad too.

Or this time, when you picked me up early from school because I was sick, and on the way home after that we went to the doctor, Dad would buy me a toy car and a book.

You know, I still keep it, and I can learn to read on my own.

I'm still reading a storybook that Dad said was Evan's favorite because there's a lesson hidden in it.

This is the third time and I can't find it !!

I wish Dad could be here and tell me.

Uncle Alan is a god-man, he's very busy, now he can't play with me anymore. And mom never did because she was busy, too.

And now Dad, you're busy too and I don't have anyone to play with at home, sometimes I bring Leo here to play with me.

He has a father too, and guess what? His father came back from the war too, his father was just like you, but why didn't you come with him?

Mom was so upset by that, I heard her crying every night, dad she still loves you, you always wondered about that right? Now, will you come for him? For me? For Uncle and Aunt? For all of us?

Even though Uncle Alan is so annoying he still cares about me, really.

I once cried then he suggested that I could go with him and Aunt Kenny to the Festival, it was fun !!

And I met Ryan, one of his friends and Julia, and he's got a lot of friends !! And everything's good for me.

Ryan invited me to watch a race that was only allowed for the big guys and Julia bought me chocolate.

Or on Father's Day, we'll sing on the school stage, and mom will be so happy and record us, but I want Dad there. Watch, because it's Father's Day and I'll sing for you, just for you dad, and I hope you can surprise me and show up in front of me.

It's so boring if I have to wait for something that never happens, I'm so sad.

Leo and I were playing in the park with Molly, her dog, we threw a stick and she ran to get the stick.

He's so fun and smart.

I miss you dad, I want to do all this with you, when are you going to come back from the war?

I love you so much dad, you're the best dad in the world, I'm sure you'll come someday.

Ivan

LETTER 2

From: Father (Person who Pretends to be Evan's father)

For: Evan, my son.

Hello little soldier dad,

I've received a letter from you, and I'm so glad you've been able to start writing and even reading, keep learning with the lessons in your book.

Keep believing and do not lose hope, surely you will find it, you smart father's son.

I'm sorry that I can't be with you for a long time, and can't be with you all the time watching you grow up and play on the swing, don't be jealous of your friends at school, don't be so jealous of your friends at school, you're so much better than them, without dad, you have to keep working hard, son.

I miss you too, all of you, tell them I'm fine, and there will be a day where we'll meet and hug each other.

You don't know how much you want your father to be with you, but that's life, I want to see you grow up, from toddlers to naughty teens and show daddy the ropes of life, he said, I want to be there and give you advice about women, being a good boy.

Tell Alan's uncle that Dad really wanted to be there when he and Aunt Kenny already had a child.

Tell your mother that you love her so much, and I'm happy to have her and all of you, stay strong for me.

I know that you will not disappoint me and become the son who keeps his family at home, as a temporary replacement for my father.

Take care of your mother, and keep her away from the bad guys, I'm counting on you my hero.

Send all my love to everyone, tell mom that I love her too and tell her not to be sad about dad.

Stay strong for me, man.

I have to go now little soldier, jaha everyone in the house.

your father
