Looking into my brown eyes and my brown eyes seeing past his blue eyes Daddy said,” "Squirt I have to go. You see if I don’t then someday the war against countries and mean people will be here, right here in America, maybe even in New York.” I have to protect the country so that our country can protect little princes and princesses like you!" He bent down and encompassed my little body with his big arms. “ "Now every night, squirt, I want you to pray for your Ole Sarge and I will make sure to look at our special star together every night at 8:00 pm. This way we can wish on the star together and God will take our wishes and bring them to us. Before long I will be back, just keep that in your heart!" With that he walked away, his duffle bag in tow. “ Now as an adult, Professor Michi Santrew needs to make a decision. As she looks out her window, there is always this little girl under the lampost?
