*This is not a true account but rather what went through my mind and latter on this is a rant*
I asked a kid what he wants for Christmas. He said"I want my dad to come back home.". I said "from a trip?". He said "yeah". I asked "where?". He said "Iraq". Then time stopped at the moment. I looked him in the eyes and a tear rolled down my face. I said "Everything will be alright kid" and shook his hair. He smiled at me. I asked "Is that all?" He replied "yes.".
This war has gone to long and has torn family members apart. But to give hope to a kid to keep going forward is the greatest gift you can give. They say that Christmas is the season for giving and to give kids hope,dreams,strength and courage that is the true gifts you can give. But as the kid left I thought that my gift was unreasonable I had more then just promised the kid to hope but I have promised him God's greatest gift of all LIFE. How can I promise a kid the life of his father? I can't but to let the kid hope and dream and move forward that is the gift I have given him. Now I sit here typing my thoughts and I think that Life is the greatest gift God has given. You only have one chance and one life and you better make the best of it. So for all of you who sit at home and sigh about how life isn't going your way. Think about how that you are still alive and healthy and not in someone's shoes like that kid. Pray to God that you are fortunate with what you have and that God has determined that it is not your time to leave. Be happy that you still hold God's greatest gift of LIFE. While, that kid walks away I know I removed all fear,all doubts from his mind and that he is at peace.
I almost cried when I heard this: "Today 3 American Troops died on this Christmas Eve let's honor them in Silence" That is Three kids whose gifts I failed to give and three families whose Christmas has become Hell. When will this stop?
AP 4,218 American Soldiers have died since the beggining of this war. 4,218 kids whose Gifts they did not get. 4,218 families whose Christmas turned into Hell.
We cannot pretend that there are families that are suffering mental,economically and physically. We cannot pretned that those 4,218 soldiers are only snowman or this is a dream. WE CANNOT pretend that 4218 KIDS lost their brother or father. WHEN WILL THIS END!? Do you see the Fault of your mistake Bush??? Do you??? NO because you have taken God's most precious gift from 4218 people their Gift to Life. Yes they did volunteer, yes they were willing to give up their lives for their country! But you promised that this would end! Look at where we are now! More then 4 Years have passed! You gave us NOTHING BUT FEAR AND PAIN!
That is My New Years Resolve, to Eliminate Pain and fear. I will be the one to lift those who cannot stand. Carry those who cannot carry themselves. Guide those who cannot see. and Lead those who cannot lead themselves.
I am the Light that shall guide my friends and family out of the darkness and anyone else who neds it.
