I Want My Daddy

Just a few minutes ago I overheard Erin sobbing uncontrollably in her room (the kind that takes your breath away).  I wasn't sure what was wrong, but once I translated her words through all the crying she told me she wanted to go to work with Daddy.  Howard works in an office next to the aircraft hangers on the flightline.  No one has ever gone to work with Daddy, and I reminded her of  that.  We've seen his work a couple times on a Saturday, but unless I have an authorized escort (Howard) I can't even step foot on the flightline (the SP's are actually authorized to shoot me if they felt I was a threat!)  I don' t know where she got the idea that she could go with him to work?! 

 As a side note...the Army transferred quite a few Patriot Missiles here to Okinawa about 2 years ago and they took up residence right next to Howard's work.  He actually parks right next to the missiles for work (just outside one of the entrance gates to the flightline).  Whenever we drive that way it's weird to see them...they're HUGE!
