He was supposed to be coming home to celebrate Christmas and his son's birthday. Instead, he's coming home to this.

My uncle called me this morning. When I heard it, it was a total shock. I couldn't believe it.

They hadn't opened their gifts yet. They were waiting for him to come in.

In order to survive I must turn my heart into diamond...one of the most beautiful substances on earth, yet also the hardest.

Our goal this year is to have nine families move into a home by Christmas.

This means everything; we've come home. My house is gone, but I'm still home for Christmas.
