Johnny is a smart and curious kid. About a year ago a good friend of his named Morgan moved with her family to Germany. He still asks about her and about Germany and how we could visit her. So when Daddy left we told him Daddy was on his adventure in Texas, and Texas was what he clung to. But then we visited Texas and then he got a little confused, how could this be where Daddy was on his adventure, we could live here. So now Daddy is trying to explain to him what Afghanistan is like and where Daddy is compared to him. Daddy is sending us some pictures of his room and office, but OPSEC keeps him from sending us too many pictures. Johnny's interest in knowing where Daddy is prompted Grams to buy this giant floor puzzle of the world. Mommy got to help him put it together and he really started to understand how big the world is.
Johnny loved looking at each piece and talking about the animals that show where they live in each country.
He loved seeing the puzzle come together.
Putting in the last piece you would have thought was like winning the Olympics.
They we talked about where Daddy is.
Johnny was concerned about the tiger that was so close to were we said Daddy was. Johnny hopes Daddy is n by any tigers or mountain lions.
And we have it. One finger on Daddy and one on us. So far away, but always in our hearts.
