They say that picking the right Christmas Tree for the Christmas Holiday is very Important. Thousands of people each year spend countless hours trying to find that one special tree that will make their Christmas perfect. For me this year it was impossible to go find that tree. Truthfully, you don't find many pine trees here in Afghanistan. I had just thought that this year I would have to go without. My family on the other hand decieded that I needed a tree. They spent many hours making me my own personal Christmas Tree and sent it to me here in Bagram. I can say that in over 30 years worth of Christmas's, that this was the best present I have ever gotten. Thank you Megan and kids for taking the time to give to me something that I can never forget. The Tree was everything that I could have wished for and so much more. Not only did you give me a tree but you gave me so many wonderful memories to hold in my heart. I am glad that we each were able to spend time together and to have these great memories together. Please know that you are forver on my mind and in my heart. I want yo all to know that even though I can't physically be there with you this Christmas Season that I am there in spirit. I am saddend that I can't be home but I know that the pictures and wonderful words will get me through this time. Thank you again fo the best Christmas present a Soldier could ask for. Thank you for loving me and taking the time to make this wonderful tree for me. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and I know that we will be together again very soon.
I am so glad that you liked your tree. We wish you were here. We miss you so much. Christmas just won't be the same without you. love you forever....
