A mom of two found a creative way to incorporate her military husband into this year's Christmas card, since it's the first holiday he will spend without his family.

Danielle Cobo wanted him included in the Christmas card so photographer Shannon Sturgeon digitally placed him in the shot.

"He was happy to be be part of the photos," Cobo of Tampa, Florida, told "GMA." "He's having a hard time being away from [us] during the holidays."
