I'm not against the more traditional photos and stuff. I just find this strange and morbid, especially if the worse happens. But you're right to point out that this is the situation of a family member, and the truth is I just can't relate to it.
Wishing you and your family the best.
Thanks for the well wishes.
I am not saying I would have a cut out... but if I were 10 years old, and my dad was in Iraq, I would jump at the chance. But that is just me. Others deal with the separation in different ways.
