A different kind of Christmas
Monday, December 20, 2010
It was 1951 -- our first Christmas as a married couple. The problem was that we weren't together. Jean was in Nebraska. I was in Korea; so far away from home that if I went any further I'd be coming back again -- in a land where they didn't celebrate Christmas anyway. And to top off the whole situation I was working the bakery graveyard shift on -- Christmas Day! I was having a bad case of homesickness.
