Kicker: Home for Christmas

MYRNA BROWN, HOST: A Christian radio station in Atlanta managed to pull together a heartwarming reunion last week.

104.7 The Fish sponsors a program for listeners to send in their Christmas wishes. So Jessica Rivera thought she’d ask listeners to send her 21 year old son Logan Christmas cards to Travis Air Force Base, 2000 miles away. It would be their first Christmas apart.

She got her wish, and thinking she’d be a guest on the station’s live broadcast, showed up to express her gratitude. Little did she know the station worked out in advance with the base to get Logan home in time for Christmas!

Mom turned around, and there was her son in uniform. Then, hugs and tears.

RIVERAS: We wish you a Merry Christmas!
