I’m a daddy’s girl. I have been for as long as I remember. He’s always pushed me to do the best and is one of my biggest supporters. With Father’s Day just a couple of days away, I thought it would be appropriate to talk about my first hero and the first ever military man in my life—my dad.
No matter who you are, where you come from, or what you believe, I think we can all agree on something—love.

My soldier and I have been dating for more than two years now, with more than a year spent apart. While we did have a good chunk of time together before diving headfirst into a long distance relationship, we are constantly learning things about each other.
One of the most difficult parts of a deployment or TDY is being apart. Sometimes it’s hard to know how to stay connected or find new ways to say, “I love you” when internet connections are down or the service member is busy doing their job.
Here are some ways you and your service member can keep the feelings of love strong while apart:
So you’ve had the first two major discussions, and now we look at the art of staying connected with your loved ones while apart and helping your child(ren) cope. Let’s get started.
Ah, February.
A whole month of this new year has quickly passed by, and it’s now been two months since my husband returned from Iraq. It seems like just yesterday we were anxiously awaiting his return in that cold airplane hangar. And then there are other days when it feels like he has been home forever and that the long deployment was only a bad dream.
My love,
Please don’t call tonight. As much as I want to hear your voice and tell you that I love you, I can’t bear to talk to you.
A hug. A kiss. A hello or a goodbye. A smile across the room. A wink. A loving pat. A snuggle or a cuddle. Watching a movie together. Sleeping in on Sunday. Doing a project together. These are all things that are taken for granted on a daily basis when couples are together, but when they’re apart, they become the things that are missed the most.
