Subject: proud of my daughter

I heard Ace & TJ read aloud an email from you this morning and had to write you. Naturally I was running late this morning trying to get my 6 year old daughter, Lacey, to school and to try to make it to work on time when we heard the words of your email.
My daughter attends school in a church and they say a prayer for everyone who is away from home fighting and defending our country.
This morning was a little different, because when she heard the words from your email she asked where you were and why you weren't reading it yourself. I told her that you were in the military and you were one of the many men and women who would help to make sure that we didn't lose more lives in America like we did in NYC and in D.C. on 9/11.
She seemed so focused and attentive to the words coming through the car speakers. I asked if she was ok and she nodded, yes.
Once I pulled up to the door of her school she held her head down, (and being in the hurry I was in) I asked her if she was ok. She didn't answer. So I asked her again and she still didn't answer--- instead she held her hand up to me as if not to disturb her.
Then out of the blue, she told me to write you an email and let you know that her "special prayer" went out to you and your troops this morning. She said she hoped that all of you could be home to feed your dogs soon, get your mail, read bedtime stories to your kids and give your mommies and daddies a big hug.
I thought it was so sweet of her to think of the little things in life that I know I even tend to take for granted that thousands of others don't have the chance to do right now. On my way to work I thought about what she had said and that she took it upon herself to think of the simple things in life and hoping that all of you can return home to your loved ones soon!
Since I am a single mother, I have learned to sacrifice more than once so that my daughter could have the things she needs. That's the way I look at this whole situation--
all of you are sacrificing so much for people like me and my daughter to keep our freedom and our way of living as American citizens.
I am very proud of my daughter for her sincerity and innocence as a child to think of others before herself.
I wish the very best for you and I hope to hear back from you to pass along to my daughter.

P.S. As she got to the door of her school she looked back at me and let out a loud, "hoooo- yah!!"

Sincerely,
Sonia Garcia
