For my Family

We ran some errands yesterday and on our way home this song came on the radio. It was getting dark and it was a cold drizzly day, which always makes me feel at home. I was thinking about all my family back on the West Coast and how much I always miss everyone, more than I usually do, at this time of year. Well, by the time the song ended (though I've heard it at least 20 times in the past few weeks) my face was wet with tears and I was thankful the kids couldn't see my face.

So this is for Mom, Dave, Dad, Karen, Aaron, Sera, Nanny, Grandma Mach, Grandma & Grandpa...

I'm dreamin' tonight of a place I love

Even more then I usually do

And although I know it's a long road back

I promise you

I'll be home for Christmas

You can count on me

Please have snow and mistletoe

And presents under the tree

Christmas Eve will find me

Where the love light beams

I'll be home for Christmas

If only in my dreams

Christmas Eve will find me

Where the love light beams

I'll be home for Christmas

If only in my dreams

If only in my dreams
