Daddy dolls, and video Skype. You can insert a picture of your Dad’s face in the Daddy doll. You can sleep with it
and record their voice speaker in it so you can hear them saying something like “I love you,” “I Miss You,” or “Good
Night.” These activities make me feel much happier.
In conclusion, as a military child, life can be like a roller coaster with happy and sad times. Just remember to focus
on the things you can do to be happy and have fun!
The infantry commissioned officer said he was initially surprised by Robyn’s reaction when he visited, but
knows he is loved and appreciates her admiration.
“As kids they are really proud of what their parents do,” the colonel said. “I’m very proud of her.”
Robyn said she enjoys participating in activities with dad and described the reason as: “I feel I am close
with him.” She is proud he is a Soldier, and understands there can be difficult times when a parent is not home
because of duty.
“It’s challenging to not be with them at times,” Robyn said.
She expressed that children who experience separations from parents, because of service to the nation, should
remember moments spent together.
“They should cherish those memories,” Robyn advised.
Relisa Wilson, Robyn’s mom, said the community in Florida where the family (the Wilsons have four chil-
dren) lived during the colonel’s deployment was very supportive. Coming to Fort Irwin allowed the family to
reconnect. It has been an opportune time to be together, grow a little more and create new memories, she said.
The colonel said Fort Irwin is a great post to reunite with family and spend time together.
“It’s a great opportunity to see your kids grow, to see them do some great things in school and with extracur-
ricular activities … and just become leaders amongst themselves,” he said.
He went on to describe the post as amazing in terms of the leadership and environment, and with a close-
knit community. He described post activities and organizations as being integral to the readiness and resiliency
– of not only Soldiers – but of the community.
“We have a lot of resilient families here,” he said.
The Wilsons will soon move to Texas for dad’s next assignment.
