*** its different now ***

its different now

the

holidays

*

there different

*

remember when you were little

the

magic

the

curiosity

the

colors

the

music

*

now at 43

my role changed

*

i became the person

....who santa worked his magic through ...

suddenly

I

was the link between him

&

my sweet little boy

*

i was a huge part

of

the

magic

*

i took the job seriously

* added my flair *

&

he

believed

*

the last few years

colman helped

...keep & spread the magic...

he

understands the

very

very

sacred role

*

the

top secret information

&

he respects it

*

so now

as he is away from me at christmas

much sooner than i

ever

...could have prepared for...

i am comforted

&

secure

*

i passed down

the

magic

the

curiosity

* that will last his lifetime *

my

sweet boy

knows

the

magic

*

while

he is in

northern minnesota

having a storybook

image

of a christmas

*

the woods

a log cabin

snow

*

all images of holiday magic i grew up

with

&

love

*

i am in florida

with

* our sweet furry family members *

* my paints *

* days from getting married *

to

someone

who

also

believes in the

magic

&

also

is

missing

sonshine

*

i don't know what future holidays will bring us

*

just

soooooooooooo

grateful

for

every single day

of the year

we

are

all

together

*

embracing the

new

traditions

that

holidays

&

plain old mondays

will

bring

us

*

hope you are too
