This past fall, our oldest daughter Jennifer relocated to Denver CO. A single mom with three kids ages, 13 to 8, this was her thrid job relocation in the past two years. As you can imagine this has been especially hard on not only her but the kids as well.

Four years or so ago, she was diagnosed with lupus amd recently mild lymphoma. Both are currently being treated with medication.

Over the weekend she took the youngest, Will, to see Santa. Will is at that age where this might be the last year that he believes in Santa. That is until he reaches that point in his adult life when he realizes that there really is a Santa Clause. Anyway, when asked what he wanted for Christmas, he asked Santa to make his mother better, because he didn't want his mom to die. Thankfully, Santa was wise enough to tell Will that is something he could not do.

Jennifer didn't know anything about this until the counsilor at Will's school called her. He had been acting out in class and when she asked him what was wrong, he told her what he asked Santa for and what Santa had told him. So she and Jennifer are working though this issue with Will.

Those of you that feel so moved, would you remember Jennifer, Kate, David and Will?
