I don't want Daddy to go be part of the military. He's my daddy. Those silly people in other countries that are in danger of dying don't need him. I do.
" Daddy, don't go! PLEASE!" I sobbed as my daddy made his way out into the garage.
" Oh, Tater-Tot, you know I don't want to. But... I have to. I'm doing it for you, your mom, your siblings," Daddy said.
Alison, my older sister was hugging Daddy and saying,
" Miss you already, Dad! "
I hugged Daddy, he said his goodbyes to my sisters and brothers, and then Mommy and Daddy started kissing.
"Yucky," I thought.
I watched as Daddy got into his big truck, and started backing out of the driveway. It was then that I really started crying.

In the beginning when Tara thinks, " Those silly people in other countries that are in danger of dying don't need him. I do," I didn't mean to offend anyone. When Tara thinks that, she is only 4  years old.
Tysm for understanding!
