Stacia's View of Deployments

Well....well....well....our 4 year old is obviously processing.

She has taken to carrying her cabbage patch doll around. She tells all, "This is my daughter, Debbie." I'm getting used to this.

Yesterday, Debbie had to go to the airport (2nd time this week) and the chapel with us. Stacia marched right up to the sweetest, about-to-deploy, NCO mom and said, "This is my daughter, Debbie." Tabitha made the appropriate comments.

Stacia looked at Tabitha and said, "*I'D* NEVER leave my daughter alone." Stacia does NOT know that Tabitha is deploying. She does know Dad is leaving.

Wow. Poor Tabitha and Mike. It IS good that Stacia is processing her feelings about military life. At bedtime she asked me to read, "I'll love you forever....I'll like for you always" and we talked about how Daddy Bear says that to her and that her Mommy and Daddy will always love her and like her and "be here" for her.

Prayers appreciated.

Choosing Joy!
