My son who is 8 years old now  gets to come to my place of work some weekends.  I work Security and part of my job is to view security monitors.  Today he asked me, "Daddy, can we put a video camera on the roof and catch Santa coming down the chimney?"  "I want to see if he really has reindeer and a sleigh!"

He was so serious when asking me this.  I had to turn away to put on a straight face and I turned back to face him and said,  "Nicki boy, people only see him at the mall, and by the presents under the tree, and the bites missing from the cookies."
He then asked, "So, who drinks the milk, the reindeer?" 

His imaginary curiosity just astounds me!

And it really hit me right between the eyes.....we forget as grownups, that we all came from this magical young age of wonder.  And we forget that it's still inside of us!

She died from lung disease. Ironic.I was fine at the funeral. Planning. Talking to everyone. I thought u handled it great. Now 4 months later, I’m a mess. Some days I’m perfectly fine, but others I can’t walk down the street without crying. I keep thinking that I haven’t talked to her in a while & I…See More
