Hi Kourt Knee,

I'm sorry your Dad will be gone for a year, but he is right. The Colonels (sp?) are protected. Many of us have family over there right now and I know it's horribly scary, but you can do it. This is the life and job he picked, and he must be very good at it to have achieved that position.

I'm sorry things are so upside down and inside out for you. Just one change is scary, multiple ones are just horrid. You can do this, though. Hang in there and know that we are with you through this.

Hugs,

Jan
