Thank you so much for sending us our "flat daddy." On the day that we received our "flat daddy," my daughter and I also received news that we were able to get a house in Port Hueneme, CA. Due to the fact that we are going to be moving soon, I wondered if I should post the "flat daddy" on foam board and risk it being destroyed in our move OR should I make a life-size poster for my daughter in a poster frame. Needless to say, I wasn't going to risk anything happening to my daughter's "flat daddy" so I put it in a poster frame. That afternoon when she woke up from her nap she was so excited to see her life-size poster of her daddy. My husband has been deployed for almost a year of my 2-year-old daughter's life, but she still remains a "daddy's girl." Now, with the help of our "flat daddy" she is able to give him kisses and tell him goodnight. I have sent many pictures to my husband in Iraq of our daughter with her "flat daddy" and he couldn't be happier that she has it. Thanks again for helping to make his time away a little easier on my daughter and me! Your efforts are GREATLY appreciated. The picture is of my daughter giving her daddy a kiss!

I just want to thank everyone involved in the flat daddy process. It was the greatest feeling to open the container and then pull out that cut out. Especially when you haven't seen your husband and or father in almost a year. It brought tears to my eyes and I just want to thank everyone so much! You don't know what it means. So thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Our flat daddy was a great way to celebrate Father's Day during my husband's 15 month deployment. We all love seeing him everyday and it has been wonderful for our baby to be able to recognize his Daddy's face. Our flat daddy has been an amazing tool to help us cope with the separation. Thank you!

My granddaughter, Mikayla, 2, is so proud of her "DaDa", who is currently in his second deployment. We got the Flat Daddy and the Fabric Family in the same week. She kisses her Flat Daddy all the time and carries on conversations with him, in her two-year-old jibberish. Her Fabric Family has become her security blanket. This is a great project and I thank you for it, and for the prayers and support of all military personnel and their families.
