This weekend the kids and I sat down to write their Christmas lists.
My 9 year old son had a very short list.
I asked him why that is and what he said broke my heart.
He said "there is one thing I REALLY want but I know I won't get it"
When I asked what that is he said "for dad to come home".
Now I knew the holidays would be hard for us this year.
My kids and I have each other but my husband will be all alone.
Another family and I are sending a box of decorations to our guys and hopefully that will lift their moods a little during this hard time.
A lot of people have asked me what they can do for me.
If you are one of the few who want to help please email me at AJellyBean83(at)yahoo(dot)com
I would love it if we could get together a bunch of cards and letters to send to my husbands unit.
Thank you all who have left me so many kind words during this tough time.
This is a song says exactly what my kids are going through right now.

What I didn't know was exactly how hard.
Of all the things that hurt, watching my kids hurt is the worst.
I know it is hard for us and that got me thinking about my husband and the other members of our military who won't be here for Christmas.
I know that many of them won't admit it but I am sure it's even harder for them.

:( My heart hurts for you, reading this. I hope you all still manage to have a good holiday, and that you get the Christmas present you want most as soon as possible!
Aww that poor little guy, I felt so sad for him when I read this. I wish your kids had their daddy home for the holidays too :(
I hope he gets home to you all safe and SOON!!
