Walmart story-- I went to walmart today to get some last minute things for thanksgiving. I was wearing my son's navy hoodie and wondering the store when the song "i'll be home for christmas" came on and I started crying! I felt so alone but have found a safe haven here and know I am not the only one with a child gone for the holidays.
