So proud that this got sooo many reblogs, I’m still like wow….
It really got the recognition it deserved, it shows just how much this soldier loved his baby daughter. I can really see how many people its touched.
Oh and I originally found it here:

In case anyone was wondering.
Before departing for a tour in Afghanistan, First Lieutenant Todd Weaver left a note to his 9 month old daughter. Todd Weaver was killed on September 9, 2010 by an improvised explosive device. This is the letter to his daughter.
Grey's Anatomy - P.Y.T (Pretty Young Thing)
- Dr Hunt: Okay, Randy, since there was a tear in your joint capsule we needed to open up the hip to reduce it. We put a rod and screws into the other femur to fix that and reduced the other hip and this piece of hardware is keeping your wrist fracture together.
- Marcus: That's intense. Is that like some sort of record or something? Like the worst case you ever seen?
- Dr Hunt: Um no. No, no. The worst case I ever saw was a guy who had an ex fix in his arm like this one, but he also had a gaping hole with Exposed bone that needed to be covered. He also had a matching hole that, uh, ripped through his back and tore his stomach apart. Needed 11 surgeries to reconstruct his abdomen.
- Patient: He survived all that?
- Dr Hunt: No. No, he didn't. But, you know, come to think of it, your situation, it is actually worse.
- Patient: Mm-hmm. How?
- Dr Hunt: Well, that guy--he threw himself in front of a grenade to save six other soldiers. He didn't launch himself into a brick wall so the internet can laugh at him.
