Summary of dana canedy's a journal for jordan

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I want to tell you about your father's journal, which he wrote while he was in Iraq. He wanted to leave you messages about how to live your life, and he wanted to tell you how much he loved us. #2 I struggled to understand what motivated the man who had for so long dreamed of your birth but chose to miss it because he believed his soldiers needed him more. He was devoted to his troops, but never spoke of the war as being about weapons of mass destruction or an axis of evil. #3 Your father was an extraordinarily disciplined man, who believed that sweating on a five-mile run was the best way to shake a cold. He loved to feed me champagne, popcorn, and chocolate in bed. He was also shy, and simple things brought him pleasure. #4 The journal was written by your father while he was at war, and it was a keepsake for his son. He wrote about the dangers he was facing and the things he missed, and he wrote longingly about you.
