I feel like a horrible mom.
Kirke joined the Army by choice.
I married a soldier by choice.
The boys didn't get a choice.
They were born into this lifestyle.
Sometimes it hits hard and I feel guilty for making this choice for them.
They deserve two parents home with them.
They shouldn't ever have to experience this pain of missing someone so much.
They shouldn't have to see their mommy cry because she's worried or missing their daddy.
They shouldn't have to go through this amount of stress at such a young age.
Unfortunately they do.
Tayton came down after being put to bed. He was really sad and missing his daddy so we decided to make daddy a video.
Here it is. Enjoy.

That was just about the sweetest thing ever. Some days its just too darn hard to be in love with a soldier!
Awwwww! That is adorable. That is all I can say at the moment :(
My huaband used to be away alot when we were first together, and some after our wedding, but I can't imagine him gone most of the time now. I don't know how you handle it. /hugz to you all
awww tears ...what a cute guy and it is so hard on kids ... my daughters best friend's mom is going to Iraq next month, shes a single mom and the kids are going to have to go to her sisters in another state. its times like this that i hate living in a military town... all the kids friends end up leaving when their parents get reassigned :( it really breaks the kids hearts.
Hugs to you all and I hope time flys then slows to a crawl once Kirke is home. :)
I make it a rule to never be upset about Daddy in Iraq around my toddler ever. I just refuse to get upset. Easier said than done, I know, but I don't want to scare him or make him upset.
I'm just lucky he's young enough that he won't remember this loooong period of separation. Cute video!
AWW - how sweet. It is so hard! How great he is coming how soon for R&R...I wish ya didnt have to go through this.. we all didnt!
That is so precious.(as I wipe away a tear). Thank you.
Ah yes, the joys of a military life with children.
My teen is already stressing about leaving here next year, settling in again, making friends. He hates that his dad is gone all the time.
