when will I see you again?

Your birthday's almost here
Halloween is closing in,
our favorite holiday.
You won't be here for Christmas
or Thanksgiving, and that upsets me.
You're my brother and best friend.
I've known you for what seems like forever,
and I love you.
I have always loved you.
I am ready for you to come home.
You are an amazing soldier
and an outstanding friend.
I love you, goofball!
