Ry sent a video of him reading a book to each of the kids. The DVD and book were included in the package.
So, we watched....... 
And we read........
And then we did it again......Ry will be back from Afganistan in a few weeks and his year overseas doesnt start till November but his absence is felt no matter how long he is gone. The thoughtful surprise not only helped me and my worries for the kids but more than that, the kids were able to see daddy, hear daddy, and connect with him in a way. They knew he was speaking to them and thinking of them.
It reminded me how easily moments with those you love can be taken for granted. Thank you Ry. For more than the books, for the gift.
