When Seth would leave when Ryker was little we went to great lengths to help him through it. We recorded Seth reading books, had videos of the two of them playing, made Ryker a photo album with pictures of the two of them, and every night before he went to bed I told him his Daddy loved him and we'd talk about what he might be doing on the boat. With Kya, it seems she's more attached to Ryker so we didn't worry about her as much. Maybe she's just getting to the age where she's understanding or missing him more, or maybe she's been missing him a lot all along, but this summer she had a pretty tough time. She found some pictures of Seth this summer and was really sad. She would carry them around with her and it was difficult to get her to snap out of it. I printed a bunch of pictures of her with him for her to keep and showed her a bunch of the videos of him reading books. That's about the only thing that would make her happy sometimes, but then she would want to call him even if just to listen to his voicemail message.
She loved this one of Seth playing with Ryker as a baby.
She would carry this Zune around all day sometimes and play it over and over.
