Glad you like it. There’s a lot I hate about Christmas. We go on about how it’s all for the children, but children and their dreams are often the first to be left out.

I love how this story ended. It reminded me of how I used to feel when I visited my mother. All the stress and care would leave my body.

I based it on my great-grandma’s house. There was nothing like toys or TV to amuse us children, but it was so full of her life that it didn’t need anything else.
