Daddy Doll

My daughter, Amaya, is in love.

We order her a Daddy Doll through Operation Hug-A-Hero, and received it in the mail last Friday. She has not put it down since I took it out of the box and showed it to her. She takes it to bed with her, in the car, to the store, to the bathroom and even holds him while she sits to watch television. She gives it kisses and says "Dada."

I asked her the other day where her Dada was, and she brought me her doll. I have to say this may be the best thing since sliced bread. The front of it has a full length photo of him taken the day he left us for deployment. The back is the Air Force tiger print she sees Daddy wear everyday.

I believe this is helping her with the separation that she is going through, and would recommend the it for any military spouse who has children. Even when Daddy returns, she will be able to have Daddy with her at all times.
