It's always easier for me to put my feelings in writing than express them verbally. |
Two more days 'til Christmas, but you'll be home tomorrow. I miss you so much, I doubt you'll ever understand. I wanted nothing more this year than to have you home. I know it's only for 2 days, but that's ok. You'll be coming home for good next spring. I know we've discussed you thinking about re-upping for another 4 years in the reserve. Though you haven't made up your mind yet, I hope you do. But, if you do, I hope you never have to leave the states again. However, I think it would be wise on your part to stay. At least in the reserves you'll be home, you can go to college, start on a career, and have 4 more years to see where you'll be and decide what you want for yourself then. Even if you put in your full 20 years, you'll only be 38. That's a good retirement and great benefits from the military. No matter what you decide though, you know I will be behind you and support you in any decision you make. Whatever you decide, it will be the right choice for you. I am so very proud of you son. I can't wait to see you tomorrow. And the little dog you're bringing me home for Christmas. Though you say it's mine and you bought it for me, I know it's really yours. :) But that's ok, I wouldn't have it any other way. :) I'll leave your bedroom door open so he can sleep in your bed after you leave. I know this isn't the best Christmas we've ever had. Infact, finacially it's the worse. But at least unlike last year you spent in Iraq, this year you're home, and I never want to see another Christmas without you. I LOVE YOU, Later.......... |
