Over the past two months, Derek's been on three different missions. While the 30 days he's been gone haven't been easy, we're so thankful it hasn't been more than that!
His absence has definitely been hard on all of us. But it's a reality we'll continue to face as an Air Force family, so we try to make the best of it.
Even at this age, Sadie misses her daddy. I'm always trying to think of ways to keep her connected to him while he's gone, which is challenging when we can't talk about what's going on. Well, I talk to her all the time about the situation and she has a lot to say back to me, but I'm not sure we're completely understanding each other!
In the meantime, we look at his picture every day and when he calls, I'll put the phone down to her ear so she can hear his voice. She smiles every time . . . then promptly tries to eat the phone. Oh well . . .
