Will DC forget father

[PleaseHelpp]

Hi,

I have a toddler (2 & half yrs of age). Due to work commitments, his father has to stay away from us for the next 6months - a year. I cannot go along because I WFH.

There's obv video calls etc. But I'm scared my DC will forget his father by the time he returns.

At this age, is it common for them to forget? If DC forgets, will DC ever accept him?

I didn't meet my father till 3.5 properly, we have the greatest bond and I never had any issues. 2.5 is a good age to remember, especially with regular video calls.
