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!

Grandma sewing room

So I am almost done with cleaning my grandmas sewing room that wasn’t touched in 10 years because of all the mess, but now that she passed away 2 days ago, I don’t know if I should continue, I wanna finish what I started but I don’t know what to do, my grandpa is still alive and I don’t want to leave this burden on him.See More
