Hi
We have made a decision, Next year I will be away working in a remote location for 8 months.
Why? Simple the money. If I was offered double what I could earn in the UK I would turn it down.
My son turns 2 December 27th and being away from him for that amount of time (I am afraid we cannot skype, but phone calls are 'manageable' because of the location).
I am putting things in place, like recording videos and have a cuddly toy with a picture of me on it.
But To say this is easy is not the case, when I first accepted it, I cried...loads.
I then spoke to people in the navy who are away a lot and they have been great.
What I am asking is when I am away, while I accept he will be taller and talek more when I get back will i miss much else? Will this damage his development?
