I don't miss Jon for me...

I miss him for Wesson.

I was thinking about it the other day. He's almost a year old. Jon has seen him a total of 4 weeks of his ENTIRE life.

I suppose the Army has longer deployments...so they go longer...but man... It just sucks. I feel so bad for how much he's missed. When Jon left the second time, Wesson was just crawling and still being fed purees. Now he's eating mac and cheese, chicken nuggets, drinking from sippys, and almost walking. And his favorite word is..."Ma". (We've upgraded from dada. )

I suppose it shouldn't bother ME...because I'm not the one to deal with it...and Jon will just go about it like normal when he comes back...

But still. He's missed so much.

Aw Yeah thats the way I feel about it too. I don't miss him for me but I missed him for Reese.

Hopefully once he gets back he won't have to deploy for a little while. At least Wesson is young right now and he doesn't understand its when they get older and start asking where daddy is that it really is depressing.

He'll be a year and a half next deployment.

I'll die if he asks about where daddy is going. Die.

yeah that's tough..... thankfully I never had to deal with deployment and a child. I know that even now when Kenny starts his 4 day shift, Mackenzie is ALWAYS saying "where'd daddy go?" or "I want my daddy" .... eesh I have no advice I'm sorry! but I feel for you guys going through this!

It was tough for the twins. They always ask where daddy is. I think about it too Jeanette. They were three months when he left 11 months when he came back. And 24 months when he left again.
