My kids got to see a normal day with all of it hecticness. Its never what's in your day, but what's in you that counts.

You and I have been round and round on this many times. You are in a unique position in that you are not only their Dad and Hero and Champion, but you serve our Country in the same capacity and protect others the same way you protect them. You just do the best you can with the time you have. It's hard on them now but when they get older they will see what an amazing Dad you have been to them. You're doin it right!! I'm glad the kids got to see how you spend your days. Sometimes reality bites but keeping it in check is a necessary thing. Good post. CJ I’m with LL on this one!!

Sometimes, you can't control the things you want to do because you have a JOB. You miss birthdays and Christmas and all the fun stuff because someone ELSE is counting on you to get your job done and do it well. It's NOT all climbing in cool vehicles or shooting at stuff. And even if it IS shooting at stuff, sometimes it means getting up in the middle of the night and haulin' @ss to some foreign country and missing the school play. Or even why on some nights, dad just can't make it home for dinner because of all the calls and requests and DUTIES he has to perform. CJ, it's alright. I'm glad your kids got to see reality, not just the fun stuff. It's a good leason. *hugs* CJ, actually, I think you showed ‘em EXACTLY how a soldier lives.
