Goodbye, Daddy !

Chad left for his deployment early Tuesday morning.. 2:30 a.m. to be exact.

This is his 4th deployment since we have lived in California.. and June will be 4 years that we have been here. It really sucks, for lack of a better word.

It sucks that my girls and I have to be without him for almost 5 months.

It sucks for him that he has to miss 5 months of his children growing up. Especially now, with Emersyn being so young and changing so much everyday.

Yes, we could have it alot worse.. but I beg to differ with anyone who says that I should be "grateful" that he isn't gone longer. 5 months or 18 months, my husband and my girls' father is not here with us and we MISS him.

I am Thankful though that he is proudly serving and protecting our Country.

Please remember Chad, the girls and me in your prayers over the next 4/5 months.

I will pass Chad's info along once I recieve it from him.

Below are the pictures I took of Chad telling the girls goodbye Tuesday morning.
