The many faces of the military.. Maybe look for other kiddo's his age who are going through the same thing and throw togethers.
That way he will know he isn't the only one that is suffering and hurting that daddy is gone.. ((((((((((hugs)))))))))

Thanks. This isnt ds first deployment but this is the longest dh has EVER been home in 10byrs. Dh has been home over a yr and i guess ds got used to it. I have an amazing support system with the frg..it's just really going to suck.

I have been through it myself and that is why I decided I wouldn't date men in the military. It just isn't a life I want to live. I know it sucks hun, but hubby needs you to be strong, as I am sure you know.

Yea. When i met dh he was already in the service. We dated for eight months before he deployed. I stood by his side handled all of his financial and personal stuff back home and faithful so he knew i was the one. I swore i would never marry a guy in the service, but he's truly the best man ive ever known. So i deal with the blows as they come. Ds loves his dad so much and he was used to the trainings and deployments..but once dh was home for a while i knew ds would have separation issues. Dh is more sad. Dh has missed the birth of all of his children except our youngest who is one. He was here for his first steps, first time he spoke and his first birthday. Dh has gone to every school function my oldest has had in the last yr. They have guys night every Saturday where dh and ds go to the park or movies, grab a bite to eat and a hair cut. They drive around for about an hr and a half singing songs just the two of them. Dh was crying in the bathroom yesterday. My heart is breaking. This one is going to be the worst.

Oh momma,this breaks my heart also and I don't even know you or your son. I wish I could snap my fingers and give the perfect answer. Sadly, I can't. I wouldn't know how to handle this situation. All I can suggest is praying and put it in Gods hands. If you believe, He will answer your prayers.
Personally, I would set him down and just tell him the truth, telling him that its ok to cry. Maybe you and your dh can hold him and cry with him. Let him see you both being sad but dealing with it together. It is so sad for a child to have to see how unfair life can be at such a young age. You are so right, It really does suck. I wish you the best of luck and I would like to thank you and you dh for the protection he gives this country and for your sacrifice, as his wife and rock. Also, please tell your son how proud I am of his daddy. He is a real hero and that he(your son), is so brave for for looking after the family while his daddy is gone. God bless you and your family.

First: THANK YOU to your DH.
Second: THANK YOU for standing behind your husband and giving him the love and support he needs...
Third: Your son will understand. Make sure he knows that DH is protecting our country and that daddy will come home.

Big hugs mama.

You are in my thoughts
