Saying goodbye to soldiers triggers tears. But when Renee Moore sent her guy to the Middle East, it was definitely harder just because we knew we were going to have *** baby and he wasn't going to get to be there for it. Corporal Alex Moore thought he'd have six months of dad experience down before being deployed. But orders changed, leaving his wife alone, eight months pregnant when we talked about it before he left just options of how we could involve him as much as possible and we knew we could videotape it. But we wanted to see if there's any way he could be here without being here Sunday morning. As little Gabriel let his mom know it was time the laptop powered up Skype camera and all we had the computer right beside the bed and he could see me and hear everything and he was just giving me words of encouragement. I mean, I could hear him in the background the whole time grandma was here making sure the computer was turned at the right angle so he could see in Iowa night turned to morning and for dad morning turned to night, he was on there about seven hours with us. It was really in real time. So as she was having *** contraction, he could say you're doing great. I love you. Keep breathing. After six hours of labor, the corporal's £7.05 ounce little private showed up *** few years ago. New dads would have to wait *** month to get *** telegram. Even though there was *** lot of miles between dad and the baby, there was still *** bond and you can still see the emotion that was happening. Missing those moments still isn't easy. But seeing your son from the battlefield, it was about as good as it gets and then it'll be almost when he gets back. It'll be about 5.5 years.
