In Christmas of 2005, I sat down to write a song. As Christmas tends to be an emotional time of year, I remember feeling exceptionally so that year. I was sorting through the excitement of being newly married, yet lonely for my family and hometown. I was deeply saddened, yet proud of our soldiers lost or wounded at war. I was missing relatives who had passed and wouldn't be around that year.

So, I sat down at the piano and wondered how in the world could I bottle all of this up into one song. A little over an hour and a half later, I was able to pour everything out into a song called 'Home'.

In October of 2006, Lance Corporal Joshua R. Bleill of the United States Marines was hit by a
IED (improvised explosive device) in Iraq. Three of the four marines were killed instantly in the explosion. Josh, the only survivor had both legs traumatically amputated by the explosion.

Josh will be joining my family by marrying my cousin Nikki Tooley in April 2009.

I am deeply honored to be able to tell a part of Josh's story, in my upcoming music video 'Home'. God Bless the men and women fighting for our freedom and may we pray they make a safe journey Home
