Comments on: What Is It Really Like When Daddy Leaves? http://www.creativemom.net/2008/05/23/what-is-it-really-like-when-daddy-leaves/ Thoughts on Design, Creativity, Mommyhood and the Military Family Wed, 01 Sep 2010 15:53:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Pamela Litton http://www.creativemom.net/2008/05/23/what-is-it-really-like-when-daddy-leaves/comment-page-1/#comment-21 Pamela Litton Sun, 27 Jul 2008 15:54:31 +0000 http://www.creativemom.net/?p=10#comment-21 After reading "A Family Apart", I wanted to call that young mother and reassure her that children are resilient and her family will be back to normal very soon. As a military mother-in-law and grandmother, I was fortunate to be included in my son's homecoming from Iraq and to witness the reunion of his two sons and daughter. I was surprised at how quickly the children accepted their dad's return and were soon going about the business of being kids. Perhaps rough spots developed, but nothing long lasting. I would also like to give this lady a big hug and thank her for sharing her touching story and for serving the nation right along with her husband.
