Welcome adawife!

Quote From: adawife

Hello all. I just wanted to say that I love your support board and it is so good to see military families trying to support other military families. I am an Army wife and my husband is deployed for the second time. He has been gone for a little over 5 months. The first time he was there we were not married so this is my first deployment with him. Also to add a little more to this deployment we have our first child who was 3 months when my husband left. From what I have read you guys seem to be a little more experienced at all this deployment stuff so I was wondering if you had any advice for helping my husband and son bond. I know that it will probably just take time; I just don't want my son to be scared around his father when he sees him. I show him pictures of him constantly and every time he calls I put the phone up to his ear so he can hear his voice. Our son is almost 9 months now and my husband will not be home until April.  

I would also like to ask for a few special prayers. Three of the guys in my husband's unit have been injured in the past month. Two this past week. Please say a special pray for each of them and their families. You are all in my prayers every night. I pray for the safe return of each of your loved ones and please remember my family in your prayers. Thank you. 

Thanks you for your interest in this board and thank you especially for writing about your husband and son. There are others here with small children who are ready and able to discuss ways of dealing with the bonding issue. I think what you are doing is good. Your attitude and willingness are surely evident! ADA MOM --adawife!

Information is power. There is a lot of information on drphil.com about parenting. You may be already involved with some of the parenting boards here. Perhaps that is even where you saw the invitation for *1 More Yellow Ribbon*

I was just looking at the name of this board again. I had imagined, as each new person posted, we would be adding ONE MORE yellow ribbon, as if to say ONE MORE real person, with ONE MORE real family, ONE MORE real sacrifice for the sake of FREEDOM. And now it is really happening! One by one more people are coming.

We are glad you found your way here and know that you will find support in the days and weeks ahead!
Mike’s Mom
