Dear Santa,
Every year thousand's upon thousand's of children write to you with a detailed list of item's that they would like to find under their tree's on Christmas morning. Million's of requests every hear about the thing's that they would like more then anything.
And every year, thousand's upon thousand's of children wake up Christmas morning with exactly what they had written to you for requesting.
This year, there isn't much that I want for Christmas, but there are a few thing's that I'd really love to have.
I haven't been the greatest of good girl's over the past few years, and know that only good boy's and girl's receive what they ask for, but I do hope that my requests do not go unheard.
When I awake Christmas morning, I need not find a single present under my tree. The stockings that are carefully hung in my hallway can remain empty, and I have no desire to discover present's stashed away in places you'd originally never put thing's. No, this year I don't need wrapping paper, and tinsel. Bow's or ribbons.
First, I would love to be given strength. Throughout my life I have gone through some difficult times, and always I've managed to overcome them with the support of my family and friend's. I suspect this year it will be no different. Though I can't picture anything worse happening then what I've already experienced, I know that with each new year come's more challanges, more struggles. So this year, instead of a shiny bike, or a new camera. Instead of clothes, or chocolates, or electronic devices, I'd really like some strength.
I have relied upon my friends and my family too much over the year's to assist me in my troubles. For granted, they have given me their best support and never once asked for anything in return. And all too late, I realized what my leaning on them has caused them, for when I struggled, they struggled. When I stressed, they stressed. When I worried, or cried, they worried and cried right along with me.
If I was given strength for Christmas this year, then I would be able to save them all the added trouble's that I push upon them, and I would know that whatever life may toss me this coming year, I will meet it head on and I will survive through it.
The second thing that I would like for Christmas this year is positive test results, not only for myself, but for my sister and mother as well. Christmas is a time of new hope, and I would love nothing better then to receive positive results for all the test's that the girl's in my family have gone through.
My sister and I both had abnormalties in our routine PAP test's this year, and have been subject to further testing. Upon realizing that both my sister and I read abnormalties, my mother too decided to get testing's done, to see if perhaps it ran in our family. Currently, we are all awaiting our results. I ask you, Santa, that you send us some of your magic this coming year so that our test results come back with positive outcomes.
My third Christmas wish this year is faith. Allow me to have faith in the medical profession and their ability to get answers. It is now going on three year's, this Christmas, since the lumps I have has been discovered. To this date, doctor's are still uncertain as to what it is, and my faith that they will discover what it is and cure it has been dwidling. If I was given Faith for Christmas, I could start the new year confident that luck will be on our side, and that whatever these lumps may be, we will get through it sucessfully.
Finally, my last request for Christmas this year, my last Christmas wish, is encouragement. Too much has happened the past little while in my friend's and families lives, that encouragement has begun to wear short. This year, my father will continue to struggle with court, my mother's relationship with her parent's will continue to be rocky, my little brother will be living completely on his own for the first time in his life, and my sister is only just beginning the long road ahead of being a first time mother.
I ask for encouragement, so that whatever we, as a family, will face in the coming new year, we will be able to be there and encourage each other along the way. Too often I get wrapped up in my own depressions, my own troubles and fear's, that I am unable to encourage my family and friend's throughout their own journey in life. If I am given Encouragement for Christmas, I know that this year will bring me closer to the family that I haven't always been there for, and hopefully, it will make the new year easier on all around.
There is no need to wrap my presents and slip them silently under my tree. You don't have to try to stuff them into the flimsy dollarstore purchased stockings that hang in my hallway. You needn't even fill out a card addressed to me from you, for these are all gift's that come from the heart.
Santa has always been a child's hope. A dream that fill's them with spirit and wonder. Love. Although I am many year's from childhood, I have faith that you can grant these thing's to my family and I. After all, Santa work's miricles, do you not?
Merry Christmas, Santa. May the coming year bring us both what we are looking for.
Sincerely,
A Child At Heart.
