Bless your heart! Military life is not the easiest, and with your dad deploying......wow. Keep the love of your father in your heart. Know that HE also feels the same. Yeah, I know, he has to be the solider, his training takes over most of the time. But believe me, his father's heart is hurting too. I talk with many military families. What I tell the kids is this: keep post cards handy. You do not have to write letters unless you like to. Put down all the things you have done for the day. In other words, you will be talking to dad just as if he is there. Don't keep your feelings bottled up, write them down and send them! He will love to get those cards and letters. Do you draw? Get a pad and get drawing. Get your friends to save their shoe boxes. When you go to the store, find some little things to send to him. Funny things, like rubber chickens, jokes, funny cards. Then put in some cookies, better if they are baked by you! If he is in the desert, wet wipes, kool-aid singles, crylste light singles, for his water. You know what all this will do? Keep you busy thinking of ways to make your dad laugh, it will make you laugh! Sending letters and cards will show him how much you love him, and I know that he will send you letters right back! Hey, you can send him self addressed cards with stamps, he will have no reason not to write to you! Keep your heart light and brezzy! If you need to talk, please feel free to e-mail me, I've got some pretty funny Ideas!! Blessngs to you, Chaplain Debby

Don't be afraid to cry. You'll probably feel a little better if you do. It is a scary situation when someone you love has to leave for an extended period of time, but just treasure your time with him, and pray for him. I would suggest calling a close friend, and talking with them about everything you're feeling. Just keep him in your prayers, and ask God to comfort you and your family while he is away. God bless.

yes its sad but hes fighting for freedom to help the others in the bad situation they are in. you should be proud of him and make his leaving abit easier. i know its hard but you have to try. i mean you can email him and write nearly every day its changed now the way you can communicate. i know its hard but hey, hes doing a good thing for all of us americans and helping mankind. it shard to imagine someone supressing all the things we take for granted. for instance church, going shopping, good grocery shoping and so many things we have rights and most women over there don't i mean hey look up to your dad and say i am here when you come back stand behind him and take the risk of being happy fo rhis standing up for fighting in what he bleives. take care.

Just spend as much time with him as you can right now, and enjoy every moment you guys have left. Don't think about when he's about to leave; just enjoy the present as best as you can. Also, I'm sorry, I know it must be really hard. =[

maybe you should talk to your friends about it or someone close to you. They might can help you feel better and not worry about your dad.
