My name is Kaitlyn and this is just a little bit of information you should know about me.

Before I was born my dad had been apart of the army, and after I was born he still was. I loved my dad very much, he was always there when I needed him most. He never missed my birthdays. That is until I turned 7 years old.

He never showed up, he never came, I never saw him again. It wasn't until three days after my birthday that we (my mom and I) discovered what had happened to him.

A soldier showed up at are steps. My mom told me to stay in my room. So I waited until I heard sobs coming from the front door. I ran out of my room and saw my mom crying. She was holding a piece of paper. "Kaitlyn" she said, "come here" I went over to her and sat beside her. I had never really seen my mom cry, especially in front of people she didn't know.

"Kaitlyn" she said again as she pushed my hair out of my face, it's always in my face. "Daddy isn't coming home"
"What, why?" I asked. she looked from me to the soldier then back at me. She sighed, "Daddy is lost"

Lost, for the past seven years I thought for sure that meant he could be found. I never gave up looking, ever, until now. My mom is sick and I can't lose her to. I'm now in 8th grade, but almost done, summer is only a couple days away. However, so is my mom's death.
