我們是幸運的，生活在一個和平的時代和和平的國家。但是在戰亂動盪的時代與國家，多少父女就此天人永隔。下面是一位戰亂中的父親給女兒的一封信，希望大家喜歡。
Dear Kiley, My Sweetie:
親愛的凱莉，我的小寶貝：
Although you may not remember me, I want you to know how very much your Daddy loves you. I left for Afghanistan when you were 9 months old. Leaving you was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. You are so very special to me sweetie – you are truly a gift from God. The best day of my life was the day you were born. Every time I saw you smile my heart would just melt. You were my sweetie – my life was not complete until you were born.
儘管你可能不會記得我，我還是想讓你知道，你老爸我是多麼愛你。我在你9個月大的時候，去了阿富汗。離開你是我有生以來最痛苦的事情。寶貝，在我眼裡你是如此特別——你是上帝賜予我的無價之寶。你出生的那天，是我有生以來最美好的`一天。每當看到你的笑容，我的心彷彿就要融化。你是我的小寶貝——你的出生讓我的人生變得完整。
I am so sorry I will not be able to see you grow up. But remember, your Daddy is not gone. I am in heaven now smiling down on you every day. You are so very lucky to have such a wonderful Mom to take care of you. Make sure you are good for her and help her out whenever you can. Always remember to say your prayers at night and be thankful for all your many blessings. Never forget how important and special you are to so many people. We love you so very much. When you get older and start school, do your best and try to learn as much as you can about the world you live in. Always be nice and caring to others and you will discover that the world will be nice to you. But when things aren’t going your way, never forget that God knows what is best for you and everything will work out in the
我很難過我不能看著你長大。但是，要記住，你的老爸並沒有死去。我正在天上微笑著看你，每天都是如此。你很幸運，能有一個這麼棒的媽咪照顧你。為了她，你一定要做個乖孩子，要時時刻刻盡你所能去幫助她。每天晚上都要記著祈禱，要常懷感恩之心——為你所得到的一切恩賜。永遠不要忘記，你在那麼多人的眼裡，是那麼的重要和特別。我們是那麼愛你。當你長大了，開始上學了，要盡你所能，要全心全意去認識你所在的這個世界。對他人要永遠保持一顆和善、關愛之心，這樣你就會發現世界對你也是和善的。但是，如果事情跟你想的不一樣，千萬不要忘記，上帝知道什麼是最適合你的，而一切問題最終都能得到解決。
You have such a bright and beautiful future ahead of you. Have fun. Enjoy it. And remember, your Daddy will always be proud of you and will always love you. You are and will always be my sweetie.
你擁有一個如此光明和美好的未來。一定要開心。享受生活。此外，要記住，你的老爸將永遠為你驕傲，永遠愛你。你是我的小寶貝，永遠都是。
With very much love,
愛你
Your Daddy
老爸
