Up until this day I believed Parker was adjusting well with Richard being gone. When Richard left Parker was just 26 months old. He really did not show any separation anxiety about him leaving. Now 5 months later, he is feeling the separation of Daddy. This particular day he had seen a soldier at Walmart and cried out to him. As he turned the soldier turned to look at Parker, Parker realized it wasn't his Daddy. When we came home he had a melt down and cried for his Daddy. I have been so amazed at how well our kids have taken this deployment, it is moments like this that make me realize they are affected by this and that one day I will be able tell them the purpose of these so sad moments. Until then, I will continue to love, hold and wipe away the tears as they feel the loss of Daddy!

that makes me so sad :( Poor Parker and the girls. But 2 months and he'll be home for a visit!! I'm here if you need anything!!
That breaks my heart but at the same time how sweet that he knew his Daddy had a uniform just like that. What a smart boy. I think you are all amazing and if you ever need anything I am here!!! You are so strong and really are an example to me, thank you for your sacrifice. Thank Richard too!!
Steph, that is so adorable. It's precious that he remembers his dad. I'm glad that you put it on your blog to because some day...it will mean a lot to Parker. That is just so sweet!
