The Perfect Gift

Nine months is not very long...although it seems forever, since you've been gone. I still remember that knock at the door, two strangers, I recognized, by the uniforms they wore. Disbelief in the words, I heard them say...killed in action, on Christmas Day. When you left me, for a land far away...I ask Jesus to keep you safe. I have been so alone, with just my memories of you, but today your Christmas Present arrived, and he is so cute. He came into this world, giving me back my life, someone I can hold , all through the night. Merry Christmas, my sweet soldier...the words I never got to say, you gave me a gift so perfect, in every way. Even though you are not here, to hold your son, I promise, he will always know his father, and the good you have done. We will decorate our tree in Red- White- and Blue... "This year, and always, in remembrance of you." Merry Christmas from us both, your wife, and baby son, we will all be together one day....when our work is done. "Please, pray for our soldiers."
