My dad was a career military officer. For about the first 5 or 6 years of my life, I rarely saw him and barely knew who he was.
It was just a way of life for us in those days. I’m glad that so many schools do things like this for the kids of deployed military - the reunions are great to watch!!
I was fortunate and saw Dad more than rarely, though he was gone TDY twice for 90 days and Remote for a whole year while I was young. These reunions are good to see.
