A CHRISTmas Story

Dear Santa
  Merry Christmas! Well thats what everyone keeps telling me. But I dont feel very merry, in fact I feel down right depressed! I only want one thing for Christmas this year. I want all my family home.But I wont get it.
  My name is Nickolie Springs and I will be ten years old this Christmas morning. And every year my grandma would give me a kiss and tell me "I love you", but that wont happen this year. Grandma is spending Christmas with GOD. She left us July 4th this past year. She always said she would go with a bang. The doctors told my parents that heart problems caused her death.
  But I don't think she had any heart problems. How could she, she always had so much love for everyone. She was always there to make me smile and laugh, when mom and dad were busy.
  I know heaven is far away, but if you could bring my grandma back, even for just a minuet. I will never doubt you again. I am almost ten and I'm not supposed to believe in you any more, so I am counting on you to make this a merry christmas.

P.S. Santa can you make mommy and daddy stop fighting, even for one day?

PPS And santa I have been a really good boy this year....


  That was the letter to santa that changed a boys life forever. For on that very Christmas morning two miracles were given. Two supprises that shows that heaven, isn't always too far away.
  When little Nikki came down the stairs that morning, his mom and dad were laughing and hugging and kissing each other, Un-able to resist Nickolie joined in on the laughter and jumped into his dads arms.
"Whats so funny?" he asked
  The dad looked at his wife with so much love and care and said, "You are going to be a big brother!" Nickolie diddn't know what to say so he just laughed and hugged his parents. Happy to see them getting along. But he wasn't getting his hopes up for the other half of his wish.
  After all the presents were opened, the three of them sat there on the couch just enjoying the moment. Something on top of the fire place caught the moms' attention. So she got up and grabbed it saying, "What is this?" It was a small rectangular box wrapped in santa paper.
"I don't know. Who is it for?" the father asked
"It's for nikki, it says it's from santa." She said as she handed it to Nickolie and looked to her husband. He shrugged and shook his head to indicate he didn't know what was going on.
  Nickolie gently un-wrapped th box and looked inside. what he pulled out was a hershey's kiss and a hand written note that said "I Love You"
