I’m so proud of you—my tiny boy who once looked just like a little acorn has now grown into a fine young soldier, faithfully serving the country. It brought me such joy to see you home on leave after completing your training. I used to give you short haircuts when you were little, and now, with your military cut, your grandmother couldn’t help but smile—she said it reminded her of how cute you were as a child. Keep doing your best throughout the rest of your service. I love you, son.
