Dear Brynlee

Brynlee,

How are you little Sweetie? It only takes a few moments to converse with you to realize just how smart you really are for your age. We have lots of fun conversations about butterflies, friends, things Mommy is doing, things I'm doing at the hospital and about Noah. You are a little bundle of joy. I love to, "Wait one more minute because I'm not done talking to you" on the phone as you tell me. It's even more fun to talk about "Some-fing else" too.

As I sit here in the quiet apartment, I miss you and your kindness and concern for me. I love to receive hugs, and "I love you Daddy's". It is hard for me too being away from you, Noah and Mommy. I love you all so much. Even though it's only for a short time that we'll be apart in the whole scheme of things, I want you to know that I think of and pray for you everyday multiple times a day.

Perhaps now I can only grasp a little more understanding of how Heavenly Father feels for all of us as His children here on earth. We are away from him but we can communicate through prayer at anytime. You and I are apart and we can speak by phone. I'm sure Heavenly father misses having us to hug and spend time with just like I miss spending time with and hugging you. One thing I know for sure is that Heavenly Father loves us. He has watched over you, Noah, and Mommy so much. He definitely watches over me too. Your prayers for me are heard and answered by Heavenly Father. So keep them up.

The Holy Ghost has been a tremendous comfort to me and I hope to you as well. At times when i miss you and mommy and Noah the most, I pray to Father in Heaven and ask him to send the Holy Ghost to comfort me and you all while we're apart.

I love you Brynlee and I want you to be a happy girl. Listen to Mommy. Give her and Noah hugs and kisses each day. Continue to mark off your calendar and I'll be home before you know it. I love you honey.

Love,
Daddy
