Being separated from a loved one is hard. Especially if it is for a long period of time.

But why is it that loved ones have to leave for so long while serving in the military? Why is it that they have to miss important life events? Why I Must Go explains to children that their loved ones leave because they love them so much, they serve their country to protect them. It is hard, but the child is not forgotten. Instead, the child is the service member’s motivation and encouragement for their service.
