“My little brother, Nicholas, had been away stationed in California for the past 10 months. He had told my mother that he would not make it home for Christmas, and that he would be deploying immediately after in January. She thought she wouldn’t get to see him before deployment, or for Christmas, and had been upset every night for two weeks. On December 20th, Nicholas flew home where I picked him up at the air port. Our mother was sound asleep when we walked in, which is why it took so long for her to get up. This was one of the most magical moments in our lives thus far!”
