      Only if you have a good mom. Be thankful for yours. Remember not everyone has had that in there life. I have no idea what a loving hug from a mother feels like.
      Sadly, my mother is still living. She doesn’t have many days left and is STILL a bitter, angry and mean woman.
      I’m my 30’s I tried desperately to create a relationship w her. After failing so badly, I asked her what it would take to earn her love.
      She told me to get used to real life already. In real life ppl don’t love you just bc you want them too.
      She’s not spoken to me in 10 years now.
      I have 9 siblings… she’s birthed 10 children and she hates us all. Me the most, but she hates us all.

    If you looked really close you could see it in her eyes as she sang. There was a soft look to it. She was singing about spending Christmas with the ones she loved and she knew there was one she was missing. What a truly beautiful video to see her have that missing piece given back to her.

    • @caddan4175
      @caddan4175 Před měsícem

      You can also tell that she's resigned to it. It's been a year. A year of missed occasions. Mother's Day, whenever her birthday is, Thanksgiving, and just the daily life of her mom being around. She's passed the point of tears for her mom being gone, and is stuck on resigned sadness. Singing about something that is painful to her, but the tears don't come because they've dried up by now.
      When the lady started talking about a soldier being gone for a year and coming home, she didn't react. There was no anticipation there...nothing until she heard her name.

But I care more about the sacrifices that she made along with the sacrifices that all service men and women for the US has made. I respect the mother and fathers who work and provide for their families. But in this instance I care more about what she is protecting. Her daughters freedom, your freedom, and my freedom.

As one who has deployed multiple times, including with the other services it is an honor to serve side by side with all those Americans. God Bless America
