If I Could Change One Thing about My Life
By Brooke Nyren

If I could change one thing in my life it would be to have my dad back. If I could have my dad back we would play games and my family would be whole.

I want to bring my dad back because he is the best dad someone could ever have, and I love my kind dad so much. My dad was like a best friend to me. When he went away to Iraq I would email or talk to him the phone almost every day. The last time I talked to him was Christmas Day 2004.

If I got to be with him again we would wrestle. We used to wrestle all the time. My dad and I would also play tackle football. The rule was only I could tackle him and he had to do two hand touch. We also liked Uno and Clue. We played these games every time I saw him.

If I could have my dad back I would be so happy that no one could make me sad. Also, my family would be whole again. Before he died my mom, dad and I would move almost every two years. It was very hard because I had to go to new schools and make new friends, but I got use to it.

I really miss my dad and that is the main reason I want him back.
