Day 187 Afghanistan

James' dad was deployed to Afghanistan today. The worst part is that we just found out Friday, by mistake. For some reason, he made the choice to not tell James he was being deployed overseas for a year. I had to break the news to him and he was absolutely devastated. He hasn't seen his dad since May and his dad made no attempts to see him before his deployment. Today's photo is of a heartbroken child and a memory that will be difficult to erase. I will keep that one private.
