How to be a great long distance dad when you're deployed.

Our son is currently deployed and I consider him to be a wonderful dad even though he's across the world in an isolated environment.  Being a military wife of a Navy guy that served 30 years in the Navy I know how important and how difficult it can be to communicate with your family.


During the Vietnam Era when my husband was deployed there wasn't the internet or Skype to help keep the family woven together.  Now our son Skype's our granddaughter and his wife and it's comforting to know that they can still communicate.  Hopefully this will aid military families in keeping the family strong during deployments.


The highlight of our year was our Skype with our son on Christmas Day and we're looking forward to our birthday calls as the day approaches.


God bless our soldiers and with communications being key to a strong family and peace of mind during deployments you have to look at the internet as a good thing.


To all those that are deployed and their families know we hold you close in our hearts and that you are always in our prayers.
