Skylar sure does love her daddy. We go to the pool in the late afternoon and wait to see him drive through the gate. Then we rush home so she can tackle him in her wet bathing suit.
She has no idea that she only has a few months left with him before he leaves for a very long time. Army life is so unfair for kids.
It makes me really sad to think about how much she's going to miss him.......
And how much he's going to miss her.
I am sad with you...Service to the Country is an honor..but...it is sooo hard. You have to live it to KNOW.
ReplyDeleteIt has been a calling. You, Micah and Skylar have answered the call. We are so proud of you. God has you in His Hands..that is the way I see it.. that is the way I can cope with not being able to physically hug each of you every day.
LOVE you with all my heart!
Blessings
I feel your pain. I'm sad about the same thing, girl.
ReplyDeleteKeri-
ReplyDeleteWe will start remembering you guys in prayer as you face this transition. I am sad with you. And grateful for your sacrifice. Wishing I could help in a tangible way or at least give you a hug!
Love ya girl.
BTW - LOVE the new blog design
Deployments are the stinks! It is heart breaking when you think about the kiddos and their daddy or mommy that is gone. You all will be in our prayers and I know that you will be soaking up every moment that you all have as a family now.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, this made my heart ache in a whole new way. Last time Micah was gone, I was sad for you both, but man, this time...words can't explain.
ReplyDeleteLove you all lots!
So, while I am sad over the idea of Micah and Skyler being apart, I was more distracted with the realization that my 11 week old has larger arms (and probably thighs) then your two year old. Really? Jenn
ReplyDeleteSo true... it will be hard for both of them... and for all of you! But... on a positive note I'm so glad that she has built that bond with him now... I remember when she was a big mommy's girl! We will keep you in our prayers. I think or lovely little girls will feel it much more at this age. Sierra already struggles to make it through the field problems so I know what lies ahead. Cherish the time now... and enjoy the decorating!
