I remember when Dad was coming home from deployment. It’s been six months since I’ve seen him. We missed his birthday AGAIN! I wondered did he get taller? In the car driving to base. Outside I looked like nothing but inside I was having a happy party. My dad was finally home.
The next thing I knew, we were finally at the pier and there were a lot of people. Wow, a ginormous ship! Cheerleaders were dancing and cheering for ship people. I saw signs in the big crowd saying “Welcome Home” many ways. How was I going to find him here? I tried to look for him but didn’t see him. Suddenly, I heard a loud “Sherri” and Mama pointed out Daddy. He was a small skinny blob waving really big and I waved back at him. My excitement started to burst.
After a long long long wait the sailors were finally getting off the ship. There was a long line of people when I finally saw him. I ran to him as fast as I could. I gave him a big hug and lei. Welcome Home Dada!
