Dear Santa,
My wish this year is different not like any other, I only have one wish this year. I’m tired of crying tear after tear. My love is gone and I cannot say when he will return. I miss him a lot and everyday he is away my heart burns. Santa I have been good. Please, please help me if you would. It has been two years sense he has seen Christmas with us. I normally act so strong and try not to cause a fuss. This year is different, Santa, my heart aches. I want him home to taste all the sweet bakes.
Last year on Christmas he was in Iraq. He said that all he kept hearing was CRACK, CRACK. What a sad thing to hear, on this holiday that we celebrate with cheer. This wish is all I want. I don’t want anything pretty or anything to flaunt. I want my love safe and in our home. I don’t want to be alone.
I know this may not work, and it’s a shot in the dark. But I hope you understand and this letter left a mark. I miss him dearly. I want see him, not like in a dream, I want to see him clearly. I will to rest. But please remember he tried his best. He works us all. I really cannot wait until next fall. He’s an American hero. Grant me this wish and I will ask nothing else, zip, zilch, or zero.

Thank you for your entry
I pray that he comes home as well. This is a letter that should have been addressed to God I think, for He is the true miracle worker. You words touched my heart and I am truely sorry that your love has had to be away from his family for so long.
God Bless and Merry Christmas

This touched my heart very deeply. If only I could grant your wish!! But all I can do is say a prayer for his safe return.
Thank you for posting this in my contest. It reminds me that not all of us will be having an old fashioned Christmas. I wish you all the best at closing. Cathy
