Merry Christmas

This year my thoughts are with the kids sitting outside The Warehouse.

I went to get tape on Christmas Eve and all I saw were kids sitting in cars, waiting for their parents to come back from buying late gifts.

Some came out with lamps and tables, some came out with off-brand Pringles and stationary.

Growing up is different for many people; all our days are unique.

I wish a good Christmas for all. A happy day, filled with joy, laughter, and rest.

Part of me knows this is not true, as the sounds of sirens on Christmas Day remind me.

It’s important to have hope and optimism. I trust that we live in a good world.
