A War of Soil and Body

September 15, 201X

Alessandra,

Pregnant?? Oh man! I'm so happy. I can't believe I'll have a baby to come home to, and an infant ;). Buy anything you need or ask Mom for help in supplies. I want you both to be comfortable and healthy.

I'll be home as fast as I can. My duty to the U.S. comes second to my duty to my family in my heart. Like I said before, I WILL be home from this damned country.

I miss you all so bad everyday. I'm a man without my family and that's the worst kind of lonely. I'd try to send something back for you all but I don't have anything.

I'm glad the neighbors are nice. It'll be nice to meet them when I come back.

By the way, Jackson says his husband can help you if you ever need. His name is Wesley Rudd. Up to you honestly but from what I've heard, he's a nice guy.

My mission was successful. I can't go into detail but one of my bunkmates went home in a box. I feel bad for his family..

I can't wait for the sonograms. It'll liven everyone up.

I love you all. Stay healthy baby.

Love you baby,

Cedric
