You can imagine I'm sure, what (who) I want for Christmas. Obviously, I'm not going to get it.
But my second choice is that he knows that he's not forgotten. I want him to know that his family and friends back home are thinking about him and wishing that he was there. I don't want him to think that he's alone. I don't want him to think that every one has forgotten him.
I've recruited some relatives in Indiana who have agreed to wrangle some holiday packages for Jordan and other marines at Leatherneck. So far, the people who have stepped up and volunteered to donate to the packages have really touched me. It's just really nice to see people who don't even know them, go out of their way and selflessly volunteer to contribute to a package for our marines.
Chrissy he knows you haven't forgot about him...he wants to be home just as much as you want him home possibly more. One thing I'm doing for Mark and his platoon is I'm making his Sergeant's fav cookies (he hunted Mark down and made a request) and a whoolllleeee bunch of Christmas sugar cookies. :) The men over there know their women are sending all their love and they definitely know that their families are thinking of them.
ReplyDeleteNot their immediate families, I meant the people that he doesnt usually see every day, cousins, aunts, and friends from home in Indiana. He knows that I will be thinking about him. It's them that he wonders about.
