The father of the child was only able to see his son once before he was murdered in Iraq. It tells the story of an unlikely romance that developed between two people who couldn’t be more dissimilar, as well as the unbreakable bond that both of them longed for their kid to comprehend.

Dana Canedy, a reporter and editor for the New York Times, was expecting their first child while her fiancé, First Sergeant Charles Monroe King, was serving in Iraq. She presented him with a notebook, which he soon found to be a source of consolation and a secure haven where he could safely reconnect with his family at the end of each day. He wrote more than two hundred pages about what he had learnt about life and about being a man, as well as about his hopes and aspirations for his son during the time that he witnessed young men being killed in action. He discussed everything, from showing women proper respect to overcoming the stigma of crying in public. “Crying can help relieve a lot of pent-up tension and emotional sorrow. There is absolutely no correlation between the two.
