Ravenhaired says,
It seems like my husband has been gone on military duties, deployments, and unaccompanied tours more than hes been home since he joined. Sometimes what hurts most is that in person, our girls dont know him. They know the face on skype, the USPS boxes with our names on them, the personal items shipped back and forth, the Airport gate passes, and daddy dolls. Our youngest hardly knows him since he left when she was so tiny. Sometimes the reunions are a bit more painful than the goodbyes.
