Question DH Job Issues and Parenting

Hi,
I need some objective feedback, please.
DH has a good and fairly secure job, out of town, we see him on sundays. This job moves an additional few hundred miles away for a year, in the spring. We would see him even less than we do now. Pay is GOOD and the job is not likely to "go away"! (allows me to be home with DD)

I'm so tempted to say "NO" when asked what I think about it, but even having a job seems to count for a lot these days.

I guess I want to know that it can be done, well. DD will miss him (she's almost 4), so will I. Is this a set up for her feeling "abandoned" by him (this was a huge issue for me growi9ng up)?

I know there's lots of Dad/Moms off fighting a war who don't see family for a lot longer, who don't really have a choice. I am fortunate to have a say in the issue, I realize this.

I am so torn between being greatful that he has a job, and suggesting that his being around physically for this year is more important.

Clear as mud? sorry...I woke up last night worrying about the right thing to do, dont' usually lose sleep over decisions!

thanks for any insights....
