~ Missing Daddy ~

The hardest part about deployment has to be when Hannah is missing her Daddy.

This week, for some reason, she has really been asking about him. We'll be driving in the car and she will ask if we are going to pick up Daddy, or she will bring me the I Pad (we use it for skyping) and ask me to call Daddy. Last night, while walking around the MCX, she thought a random guy in Marine camis was her Daddy. . . . these little moments just break my heart. 

From the moment Hannah was born, Aaron fell in love. I remember when he was in Texas, Hannah was 7 months when he left. He was so worried that in the four months he was gone she would forget him. As soon as she saw him coming down the stairs at the airport, she got a huge smile on her face. Yep, she knew her Daddy.

Our life, these past couple years, have consisted of a lot of facetime, phone calls, and skyping at 6am. We are so grateful that we are able to do that.

 I don't think she understands that Aaron has been gone for 170 days, all she knows is that today she misses her Daddy. I love my husband and our baby girl and I can't wait to get these two reunited soon.
