When you came home from War you thought your 6 children & wife was your enemy. We were only small children & could not understand your pain.We loved you,Mom always taught us to hate what you did to us,but do not hate you. I am still screaming in the very depth of my soul because of our childhood.I want to be little again without you having to go to war. I want a new childhood for me & my 5 brothers. I want us to be whole again,but everyone is in so much pain. We are now grown ups, & still hurting from the pain. If someone told me I could go back to my child hood death would be better Daddy . I still love you even though you are in death now.
