My friend's dad just left for Iraq yesterday and he will be there for 18 months. What should I do for her? I am making her a gift basket. What should I put in it? She likes webkinz so I am giving her a webkinz, and maybe some candy. I don't know what else to give her. Any other ideas? thanx.
--------------------
I'm in the same situation as you. My friends father was deployed in March and won't be home until December 2009. I've found it best if you remind her of the nice things the 2 of them did with for a little bit, but don't talk about it all the time. She will come to terms with his deployment, but tell her that he will be home soon. My best friend has been making a scrapbook of a load of things that have happened whilst her father has been gone. She's gonna give it to him when he returns. I hope this helps. But please tell her when she's upset about his deployment, that he will be home.
