Christmas is Near
I'm a big family person and I love being with my family all the time; that's part of the reason I live across the street from my mom. All my family except 1 sister and 1 brother live here in Chattanooga.
My sister live in Westmoreland, TN and my brother lives in Terre Haute, IN. My brother has been in a Federal prison for about 5 years now. Terre Haute is about 450 miles from Chattanooga so the drive is about 7-8 hours long. I go and see him about 2 times a year because of that. I miss him so much and it's weird how you think you'd just write all the time but eventually you don't. I really should stay in touch more.
It's really hard around the Holidays because he is always in your thoughts and prayers; but you want him to be home with you and sharing this with his family and daughter.
I love Christmas music and I ran across this song by a band called Greener. It's called Greener's Christmas Song and the words to this song make me think about my brother. Listen to the acoustic version, it's really pretty.
