Your Daddy’s a hero in a faraway place, loving and missing your beautiful face. The angels are watching him every day, because every night for his safety we pray. Even though he had to go, he just wanted you to know: that he loves you every day and he knows you wish he could have stayed. Even though he could not, all the times are not forgotten, that he gave you goodnight kisses. And all the smiles that he misses. The way he watched you grow and grow, the last time he got to say hello. All the times you laughed together, and played outside in gorgeous weather. Just this morning your Daddy told me that he missed his little balayage. He loves you more than you can know, even though he had to go. One day soon he’ll come home to you, and on that day a single hug and kiss will just not do. He’ll shower you with so much love, because you are all he ever thinks of. Every night when you go to bed, and bedtime stories have been read. A single hug and kiss is not enough and you’re tired of being tough.Let me hold you in my arms, and tell you stories of Daddy’s charms. I’ll remind you I miss him too, and sometimes it makes me a little blue. We both love Daddy and miss him silly, and he will be home soon enough, really. Really.

Noong unang panahon, sa isang malayong kaharian sa Sulu, may isang dalagang nagngangalang Alianapia. Siya ay hindi isang karaniwang prinsesa—sa halip na manatili sa loob ng palasyo, mas pinili niyang sanayin ang sarili sa paggamit ng kampilan at panangga. Kilala siya sa kanyang tapang at katalinuhan, kaya’t siya ang hinahangaan ng kanyang mga nasasakupan. Isang araw, dumating ang balita na isang makapangyarihang datu mula sa ibang pulo ang nagbabalak sakupin ang kanilang lupain. Si Datu Salangkapaw, isang malupit na pinuno, ay nagpadala ng babala: “Sumuko kayo at maging bahagi ng aking kaharian, o ihanda ninyo ang inyong sarili sa digmaan.” Sa halip na matakot, nagtipon si Alianapia ng mga mandirigma ng kanyang bayan. “Hindi natin ibibigay ang ating lupa sa sinuman!” aniya. Sa loob ng ilang linggo, masigasig nilang inihanda ang kanilang mga sandata at itinuro ni Alianapia ang matatalinong estratehiya upang talunin ang kaaway. Dumating ang araw ng labanan. Sa kabila ng dami ng hukbo ni Datu Salangkapaw, ginamit ni Alianapia ang kanyang talino at tapang upang mapabagsak ang kaaway. Sa gitna ng labanan, nagharap sila ng datu sa isang matinding duwelo. Sa isang mabilis na galaw, napabagsak ni Alianapia ang kalaban gamit ang kanyang kampilan. Sa pagkapanalo nila, hindi lamang nailigtas ni Alianapia ang kanyang kaharian—naging simbolo rin siya ng katapangan at pagmamahal sa sariling bayan. Simula noon, naging alamat ang kanyang pangalan, isang kwento ng kabayanihan na ipinapasa-pasa sa bawat henerasyon ng mga Tausug.
