Why this must be read:

An exceptionally moving look at five men that Daniel has loved and that have helped shape him into who he is. From 1 to 5, these short looks at Melbourne, Nick, Jack, Teal'c, and General Hammond will leave a tear in your eye and a swell in your heart. What they mean to Daniel and what he means to them is gorgeously evident in Rachel's exceptionally deft hands.

Story Summary: Five men Daniel has loved.

 

He remembers the card he had drawn when he was five for his father’s birthday; the care and attention given to each letter formed to spell out simply; ‘I love you, Daddy.’

Daniel leaves the debriefing about the virtual game and heads to his office. He picks up one of his father’s journals and opens it to touch the creased card; the words of love that his father had long ago saved and tucked within the worn pages.
