Brandon Liberato, a seaman in the U.S. Navy, had spent every major holiday with his family, but this year was supposed to be different.
He enlisted in the summer and left for boot camp. The months-long separation weighed heavily on his mom, Susana, who knew her 21-year-old was across the country with his fellow sailors and wouldn’t be home for the holiday season. Still, she supported his decision and prepared to celebrate without him.
