Daddy Dolls

We got a very special surprise package in the mail the other day. We opened up a box to find three "Daddy Dolls." Right before Spencer deployed, some wonderful people at the Worland armory took pictures of the soldiers and made these dolls out of them! Wow! I just about cried (well maybe I did cry). Ever since the Daddy Dolls arrived they have been the toy of choice to snuggle with at bedtime. Often, I am frantically searching for all three around bedtime, hoping they can be found.

Kysar carries his around even when it isn't bedtime. Lately though, he looks at the doll and cries, saying "I wish I had the real Daddy." That's enough to break my heart. :(

All in all, the Daddy Dolls were a very special gift that we are lucky to have, tears and all.
