One Ohio mother asks for help in finding their missing military daddy doll

One mom just sent out a plea for help. Her daughter had a military “daddy doll” which featured a photo of her father on it. The doll helps to comfort her three-year-old while her father is deployed. Jessica Osborne’s husband is currently training with the Kentucky National Guard.

Some days the mother and daughter aren’t able to see or even speak to him. The doll helps her daughter to feel comforted when she can’t talk to her dad. Jessica’s two oldest daughters both have a doll while their father will be gone for a while.

Last Friday, she couldn’t find her three-year-old’s doll. Jessica believes it may have gotten lost while they went to get pizza and made a stop at the local Dairy Queen. The family is located in Ohio.

Jessica shared a photo of her oldest daughter’s doll with a caption on Facebook. At the time of posting, it has received over 5,000 shares. Her post read, “My toddler lost her daddy doll on Friday. We were at Larosas, Dairy Queen on Columbus Ave. and also in the neighborhood attached.
It could also be on route from 48 to Bunnell Hill to Five Points. The daddy doll is a military stuffed doll with my husband’s military picture inside.”
