Don’t worry Joyce, she’ll still be Daddy’s girl when he gets home. And she loves you…there’s no way she would be able to tell you you’re NOT her favorite if she didn’t have absolute confidence in your love for her. Take care!

I have 4 brothers in the Army, 2 with kids. The day my oldest brother found out he was being deployed to Iraq my sister inlaw found out she was pregnant. He was sent off after a knowing his daughter for a month. A year later almost the same situation but he was able to spend 3 months with his son before leaving for Korea. The second time he left his daughter was 2 she stopped talking started waking up in the night crying for her daddy. When he came home his son didnt know who he was and was angry when he walked in to the room. It took about 8 months for things to get better. He finished up his time and did not re-enlist. He now works at an airforce base very close to home. I hope your husband comes back safely from where ever he is being deployed too. Your daughter is very strong for talking about her feelings.
