I'm very far away from home. I live here in England and this is home but I have another home too back in the States. I'm a long way from there and at this time of the year I know I'm not alone in feeling a little sad because I can't see my loved ones back home. This is the plight of expats like myself, but it's also similar to those who find themselves unable to get home for whatever reason.
I received a Christmas card from my brother the other day and it made me feel that love across the miles. I don't get to see my brother much at all right now. I see my sisters on Skype fairly regularly, but it's been a long while since I've seen my brother. So it was so nice to see his familiar handwriting on the envelope. It was good for the soul.
Christmas is an amazing time of the year! Magic seems to happen and sometimes magic is simply having a wonderful little surprise like a card from a big brother....Merry Christmas!
