Trevor's Thoughts from Tokyo

A few days a ago I visited a sweet, quiet and peaceful little shrine right in the middle of a bustling and vibrant Tokyo.

While I was there I lit a candle for a young girl I spoke with after one of our USO performances here in Japan.

Her father was recently injured in Afghanistan and has a traumatic brain injury. She told me sometimes he knows who she is and on some days when she goes into his room he says, "Who are you?"

I will never forget the look on her face when she told me that. How he sometimes looks at her and has no clue who she is. The deep sadness in her big brown eyes and her torrent of tears really made my heart hurt so much for her.

Hugging her for her dad was the least I could do. I am so grateful that the USO tour gives us the opportunity to comfort and support kids like her.

Please light a little candle of hope in your heart for her. And for all the children (no matter their religion or nationality) in the world who have lost their parents, have a sick parent or have a parent who has been injured in some way. Bless their little hearts.
