So, I've decided to take a moment, and talk about the last story I wrote.
I was thinking about the song "I'll be home for Christmas." (Obviously, the title of this post.)
But then I heard that one Christmas song, where the kid is basically singing their letter to Santa, asking to 'bring him home.'
I have a friend who's been really upset (or rather, as upset as this person can get. She's a generally happy person.) because one of her really close friends was sent off, just a few weeks ago. He was leaving right before Christmas and everything. I have a cousin (kind of a cousin; a relative) who we send chips to every once in a while. He got to be home for Christmas a year or so ago.
And then I remembered this video that I saw on facebook about this time last year. (Sure, it has a verse from the Book of Mormon in it, and I'm not a Mormon, but that isn't the point of it) I cried last time I saw it, I cried this time too.
I was thinking mostly about two clips in this mash up, one at about 7:00 (with the little girl in red) and 8:10 (the two girls in pink and white) if you want to see my specific inspiration.
So I've been watching this videos.
And I'm sad for the soldiers who won't be coming home for Christmas. I'm happy for those who will see their family again.
But I pray for all of our military for sacrificing and serving us and our country. Thank you.
