Dear Dad,
My teacher talked about you today. She'd talked about you before, but she always just said you were a hero. I thought you were a hero, but today she told us the truth. She said you were a "victor" in some "games". She said you won because you killed a lot of children. When I told Mommy; she was furious. She said we were all too young to be hearing those things, but when I asked her if it was true she said it was. She tried to explain but I just wanted to be alone in my room.
My teacher also told us why there's a statue of you in the Square. She said you were a hero because you died fighting in some war. She said some victors had been to that fight. Auntie Jo wasn't there though, so why were you? I asked Mommy if they made you fight and she said you went because you wanted to go. I don't understand why you left Mommy. Why did you have to go fight in some stupid war and leave us here. I think I was too little to tell you to stay, but how could you leave me?
Everybody says I should be so honored to be your son, but I just wish I had a normal father like all my friends.
