This will be my husband's second Father's Day to our son, his first to our daughter, and his first being deployed.
Obviously, I can't be with him to celebrate.
My husband loves his kids. With Austin growing up he always mentioned how much fun he had with him. He'd say how he enjoyed watching him grow and learn... how much of a joy he was to him. It wasn't always easy. We've had temper tantrums galore. We've had times where we've thought our son belongs in a zoo, or considered shipping him off to family somewhere. But when it came down to it... we could never do that. We couldn't imagine a day without him. When we were expecting our daughter, when I found out I was pregnant my husband was so excited. He was more excited than ME. He said he was scared and didn't know what he would be getting himself into when we had our son... but now that we were going to have another child to add into our family... he was ready. He couldn't wait.
My husband hasn't always been the way changing all of the diapers. Or feeding the kids. Or doing all of the necessary care. But he's always been there as their Dad. He has given them a better life by being in the military. He is making sure they have everything they need.
I know he misses the both of them so very much.
Your little guy and girl can't wait for Daddy to be home again.
Happy Father's Day to you.
- Rayne.
