Gratitude
The Magic of Human Kindness
These two tales are the only ones in the world that actually non-existent of Santa Claus. Everyone who shows up with surprises and gifts is the people who care for you. Though rather simple in its construction, this particular sentence is very warm and truthful. It insists to us that it is love that provides the holiday surprises, the daily gifts of life, or even just a smile. This also makes us believe that we have the ability to play the role of ‘Santa’ in other people’s lives, thus making the people in our surrounding environment happy and warm through our love and embrace.

Butterfly 🦋
Happy Birthday my little butterfly. Well not so little anymore are you? I have seen you once in the last few years, for a small moment in time. I remember you're face, full of surprise and happiness. But I wish that day never happened, I wish I could take it back. Don't get me wrong, seeing you again was so amazing, You were so beautiful and grown. You had the face of a young lady carved perfectly around those sweet brown eyes. But the situation got twisted and the motive misunderstood. When in all honesty, I was just following my motherly instincts to help your sister when she reached out. Everyone told me when I chose to have you on Friday the 13th, I was crazy. Maybe they were right, maybe I did curse myself. At least I know I didn't curse you, my brave and nurturing little Leo. With the biggest heart and cheesiest smile. Writing this was harder than I thought it would be, crazy how years pass and nothing is easier. I asked you're grandpa to tell you happy birthday for me, he said he did. Along with that message was a picture of you. My God, I knew you'd grown, but not that much. You're a mountain biker, and you love it from what I hear. I also heard yesterday was your first day of high-school... fuck me. That hit me in a different way. I mean when your big sister started that was one thing, but you, that meant something else. That meant that the deep knowing I had, the one buried where I didn't have to see it was finally staring in my face… I have now officially missed both, of the rest of your childhoods. Little girls no longer, only beautiful young women. I scroll through the old pictures I have, some make me smile, others cut me deep. If only there was a way to restart, but with the understanding I have now. Seeing that picture made my heart happy though, you looked happy. That's ultimately what matters to me anymore, That you and big sis are okay. I know you're brilliant, I've always known you would be. I'm just sorry I wasn't there, to watch as you grew into the amazing human you are today. But I'm continuing to be better every day, Just in case one day after you're 18, I get that message that says, “Hey Mom.”
