"Christmas... is not an external event at all, but a piece of one's home that one carries in one's heart."- Freya Stark
Dedicated to my big sister:
Christmas starts today when your plane lands,
When I'm eagerly awaiting you in the arrivals lobby,
When I don't even try to fight the huge smile forming at my lips as I finally see you,
When I run towards you and pull you into a smothering hug,
When I grab your bags and walk you to the car,
When we're driving home and I excitedly chat with you,
When you enter our house for the first time in god know how many months,
And my family is finally together again,
We're fewer every year and death keeps taking away those we love,
Not even worth mentioning are the ones who left by choice,
But you're here now and that's all that matters to me,
There could never be a Christmas without you home.
