While I was getting dressed this morning, I heard Kennedy down by our front door yelling, "DOG! DOGGY!!!! DOG!!!!" Or so I thought. This didn't surprise me much, she LOVES dogs and we have one that roams the neighborhood. Going on how excited she was I thought it was probably in our yard or maybe even on our porch.
After I got dressed and Kennedy continued to yell excitedly, I went down to see. All I saw were several men mowing the yard across the street.
"I don't see a doggy anywhere, Kenn."
She kept pointing outside and yelling "Dog! Right THERE!!! YAY!!!!! DOG!!! YES!"
"Where, Kennedy?! I don't see a dog!"
Kennedy stomped her foot, grabbed my hand, and said and signed, "DAD!"
"Dad??" I asked
"DADDY! RIGHT THERE!" She pointed out to the group of men across the street.
"No honey, daddy's not out there."
"Oh." She said, and she got the saddest look on her face. "Where IS Daddy?"
"He's working, baby. Far, far away."
"Oh." Then she sat on my lap and we stared out the window for awhile watching the men. She sighed and said, "I sad."
"I know, baby, but Daddy will be home soon."
"Okay," She said. I gave her a hug and diverted her attention to picking out shoes. I don't know why she thought one of those men were her daddy, none of them looked like Frank. She must have just been really missing him today. We can't wait until he gets home!

Oh I'm sad for her too. I hope she knows how wonderful her daddy is for doing what he is doing. I wish him a safe journey.

Oh, poor angel! Made me sad too, brought tears to my eyes. Praying Frank home safely and soon!
Well, I'm all teary eyed here too! Poor kids! Soon...soon he will be home. Many prayers that Frank comes home safely.
Ugh! Poor thing...it has to be so hard for someone so little to understand!
On a happier note, I'm so glad we chatted earlier...I just emailed you the fundraiser stuff! I'm soooo excited at the potential for this. I'm thrilled to be doing this.
That is sad. I remember the last time Dan was deployed towards the end I thought I saw him everywhere. One time I was at work and could have sworn I saw him. I got so excited because I thought he had come early to surprise me. When I realized he wasn't there I couldn't help it, I just started to cry.
Oh this just breaks my heart.
dont you have enough on your plate to have poor Kennedy and your hearts broken! sorry. Bloggy Hugs. When does Frank get home. Thanks to you and your family for his sacafice for our counrty.
Poor little one! I totally understand though, Miah has "daddy moments" too, even though she is 8she bursts into tears sometimes over nothing and hollars for daddy. Daddy will be home soon, and we are ALL itching for time to speed up!!!
Poor girl! I hope he's home soon!
Those are the moments that break my heart.
I want you to know we are so proud of your husband and I thank him from our family. Tell him thanks and let him know we are praying for him. God bless you all
Oh my goodness, poor Kennedy & poor mommy! I felt so sad when I read this...praying that Frank will get home safe & sound very soon;)
Oh, poor thing! That must be incredibly hard for her, and for all of you. I hope he's coming home soon...
Thank him for his service to our country, and thank you for the sacrifices you all make for the rest of us. We do appreciate it!
awwww, that is so sad :( (((hugs))) Kennedy and mommy.... you both need it today.
:( Hugs to you all!
I have the other extreme at the moment my Dad is here in body but he's not here properly. His Mum assed away last week and he's just not here - I can't really describe it.
AWWW That just made my heart sink. Poor sweet girl!! Hope your Daddy comes home soon :(
aaawww...that does break a mom's heart! You guys don't live on post do you? We live on base, and last year when Joe was gone it was hard because so many times I would go somewhere on base w/Kayla and we would pass guys in uniform she would say "daddy!" without even really LOOKING at them to see they weren't daddy, just noticing the uniform.
Did you ever order that free Elmo DVD from militaryone source? The one that deals with Elmo's dad being gone?
Praying these next few months pass quickly and that he's home sooner rather than later!
