<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My daughter made me a colorful bracelet out of beads that said "DADDY" on it. Knowing I would miss her terribly, I promised I would wear it all the time - which I did. I had to stash it in the little APFU pocket to avoid AR 670-1 violations, but I would send her pictures of me wearing it all over Africa. She loved it.<br />Now I have lots of "Daddy" bracelets, but the first one she made is still my favorite.
