Dearest Daddy, Tomorrow it will have been 52 years since my heart as a 7 year old child was broken... I will always honor your bravery, courage and sacrifice to our country but it will never assuage the pain of losing you, no matter how many years pass. I can still feel that last hug you gave me on June 5, 1968 before you boarded the plane for Vietnam. I can still see you in your khaki uniform as you carry your duffel bag and board the plane - waving one last time to Grandmother Wensinger, Grandfather Wensinger, Aunt Roslyn, Uncle Bob, Cynthia and I... The past recedes, but my memories don't fade and my pain will never diminish. I love you Daddy and I always will. Be Thou At Peace, Elaine |
