It's Time for a change in pace. I no longer have a deployed soldier and I will continue to post things you can send to your loved one when I get ideas. You may still send ideas to me at Dallas_star11@yahoo.com. I am taking this theme of "For the love of a soldier" in a different direction. Now to try to help families and soldiers cope with life after deployment.

Keeping in Touch

If you can only talk through written letters a creative way to send a letter is by recording what you would have written on paper on to a cassette tape and sending the tape instead of or with a letter. This way you can hear each other's voices too. (goo rule of thumb here: Never re-listen to your recording... you won't send it if you do. Trust me it always sounds funny replaying your own voice to your self but they will appreciate it.)

You can also make CDs of songs that remind you of them and send those.

If you have the Internet and both have a good connection Skype is great and completely free to call computer to computer then you can see and talk to each other at the same time! Skype (for a fee) also can call land lines and cell phones.

You can send pictures of things going on around you. or if they have a computer send a Cd full of pictures it takes up less room and you can put videos on CDs.
