A Military Childhood: The Thomason Family

Share

We are a family of five. An 8-year-old boy, 6-year-old girl and a 2-year-old boy. My husband was deployed for a year to Afghanistan. My eldest was deeply affected by this. The picture I am sending you is when he saw his dad for the first time since he had gone to Afghanistan.

Thanks to Andrea Thomason for this picture and story. In honor of the Month of the Military Child, SpouseBuzz is running stories of the many different ways military kids experience childhood.  Submit a picture of your military kids here.
