2025/Luka-

When I was younger, my dad left to see our new house in South Korea. My dad was gone for 4 weeks! When the 4 weeks were over, the next day he was home. We gave him a big hug and told him, “We missed you so much!” He had to leave again for deployment for two years.

Later, Mom showed us papers saying we were moving to South Korea, and we were so happy for the move. We stopped going to school. A month passed. It took two plane rides and a total of four days to finally come to South Korea. We took a taxi to get to our house. We were so happy to see our house and neighbors.

Being a military child can mean you won’t get to see your dad for a while, but it’s special because you get to travel to a new place.
