Hi there young lady:
ReplyDeleteI hear you. I miss the days when my nieces and nephews were real young and so excited for Christmas. The wonderment in their eyes when helping to decorate the tree or making gingerbread cookies or wrapping presents or looking in awe at the baby Jesus in the Nativity set. I loved seeing them walk into Granma's and Grampa's (my Mom and Dad's) house and looking at the tree with more presents for them. The look in their eyes that only see Mom and Dad and family and friends - no thoughts at all at that stage in life of there even being an outside world with troubles and responsibilities - just experiencing what they see at the moment.
I loved being Santa for them - the way they were scared at first but Santa let them touch his beard, look into his toy sack - then hugging him (me!) and laughing and handing out the Santa gifts. I remember that laughter so
much from the kids and adults alike. I remember Grandpa giving Santa a shot and a beer for the rest of the long trip and that hug from Grandma that has given me such a feeling of warmth and love from the day I was
born until that special day I see her again. How they never wanted him to go - how they wanted to pet his reindeer and sit in his sleigh and listen to his stories. I loved seeing that excitement and all that energy - it gave us energy, you know, to make them happy and to give them love and warmth so we could relive our young Christmases. Watching them in undisturbed slumber always brought a tear and a feeling of warmth that we did good by them. It is both fun and sad looking back, eh?
Now, young lady - you keep those memories forever and realize that with God's help more are on the way - I just know you're going to be a great grandma and Todd a great grandpa in the coming years. You are family - you Vick - you are the glue and the hope and especially the love and you know, maybe someday I can be
Santa again!
God bless you and yourn on this Christmas season.
Love, Mike
I love you so very much!
