children, special christmas gifts

[LAURIE]

I had been trying to have children for years and was still trying to concieve when I was recently digonsed. This Christmas reconfirmed to me that after all this I will keep trying and possibly look into adoption and this is the reason. The children in our lives are so precious. I want to quote 2 special gifts I received from 2 children in my life this season. (both of these were done with no special input from mom or dad) complete with misspellings

Erin Vargo (my neice) age 8, beautiful folded and crayon covered card read:

If I were a gift: I would be medicine. I would give me to my Aunt Laurie. It would help her surive cancer. I am a blue and red striped pill. You would have to take me 3 times a day. One in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one at night. I would give you the best kind of medicine that I could be. I am going to give me to you because I care and I love you very much and I want you to get better.


Letter to Santa in local paper from Morgan Crum (my neighbor) age 6

Dear Santa: For Christmas I want bongo jeans, advance game boy games and Guess Who, new little luveables fluffy factory please. I want Mrs. Laurie to fill better. Merry Christmas Love, Morgan
