S has one of the Leap Pad talking Frog toys. It looks like this.
He's never really played with it other than to listen to the stories it tells. Anyway...you have to customize it. You add names of family members and you can record messages.
I had forgotten about the messages.
Today, S turned it on and pushed the yellow "paw" instead of the red one. Suddenly, we hear ZooDad's voices saying "Don't forget...Daddy loves you."
S stopped dead in his tracks and looooooooked at that frog. After a long pause, he looked up and started yelling, "Daddy loves me. Daddy loves meeeeeeee!"
He pressed that button over and over again. Every time it would play ZooDad's voice he would reply, "Daddy loves me" and then laugh and laugh.
It was an unexpected surprise. The boys sure misses his daddy.

This absolutely made me sit at the computer and cry. I can not imagine having to deal with the sadness of my husband being gone like that. Thank you for what you and your family endure so your husband can serve our country and thank you to your husband for everything he does for us.
