"It's a funny thing about coming home. Looks the same, smells the same, feels the same. You realize what's changed is you."
It's Christmas day. I am home for break and I've been able to spend time with my brother and family. The last time I saw Brad was almost two years ago because he's been deployed twice with the Navy. It's crazy to think how much has happened in those two years, but as I get older I have really begun to realize how special this time is. I don't think I've grasped the importance of living in the now and holding onto the opportunities that I am given, but I am getting there. Brad brought me a gold necklace and a papyrus painting from Egypt. They are both beautiful. Although he still seems a bit discouraged by the situation he is in in life, I am proud of him.
