Deployed Soldier/Father needs your help

[OnceBurdened]

S.D.,
Sorry FAT fingered the wrong key again. I can't imagine the distance factor and how that plays into everyday for you. But I can tell you this-

Take the strength and love your children show you and let it reinforce you. There were days during my first seperation when I knew I would not see them, so right away, 1st thing I did was call them. You know why? - Because they always ended the conversation with " I Love You Dad."

That will give you the strength to do anything.

I appreciate you brother, stay strong, calm and clear minded. Accept the things you cannot change and be an example for your Kids.
You can do it.
