Highly Effective Habit
Despite daddy being deployed for nearly a year now, he is still part of our preschooler's bedtime routine. He recorded bedtime stories on the computer so they can still read together each night. And he traced his hands and put them on a string so he could give our son his bedtime hug (he has a set of our hands with him in Iraq). And he calls at bedtime nearly every single night to tell our son good night & that he loves him.

awesome father that is just great god bless him and your family
5/13/2012 08:29:58 PM Report AbuseI've been that person deployed as well as my husband. You think it's hard being a single military family, try being a dual. This father is high in the chain of command. Many can't call home once a week less known nightly. If they are high enough the phone is free and if not they buy expensive phone cards to call home. I wasn't able to call my family daily and but consider all I did to stay connected just as news worthy.
