Dear Marsha,

I met my best friend in high school. We got along like sisters. But my friend made lots of poor choices. She had her first 3 kids while we were still teenagers. She drank heavily, had abusive relationships, was promiscuous, etc.

When my friend had her fifth child, I agreed to move in with her and her newest husband to help care for the kids.

It was a bad idea. They were always angry with me, wanting me to watch the kids longer hours, keep the house cleaner, train the dogs better, etc. They blamed me for everything that went wrong with their house and their kids. Their children were allowed to do anything they wanted and have anything they wanted. When I tried to discipline them, I was in trouble. But when the children misbehaved, I was also in trouble!

When their dog had puppies, they gave me one… but then would torture me by yelling at and hitting the puppy, locking it in the cage for days, threatening to take it to the pound, etc.

I stayed mostly because I was very attached to the children. I stayed for a little over 3 years. At first they were paying me, but after the first year they said they couldn’t afford to pay me anymore. But I still wanted to be with the kids… I wanted to give them something positive in their life.

I moved out last month. After I moved out, they became very angry and accused me of stealing from them. They made nasty phone calls to me, posted things on my Facebook, and otherwise torrmented me however they could. I did everything I could to cut them out of my life, even though it meant I’d never see the children again.

The problem is I’ve been having nightmares. Every night I dream about them. Many of my dreams involve my former friend not allowing me to leave her house, or trying to take my puppy away. I also dream about the kids a lot. I wake up sad or frightened, every morning.

I feel like they are still controlling me, even though I no longer live with them or see them. I miss the children and I feel guilty about abandoning them… I loved them like my own, especially the baby, whom I raised since birth. But I want NOTHING to do with my former friends.

How can I get these people out of my head????!!!

Dear How can I get these people out of my head????!!!,

You have already taken the first step of recovery by removing yourself away from this so called friend and by having nothing to do with them. You need to remember and tell yourself that you are not the bad guy! You are clearly the victim in this situation. Look into the mirror and tell yourself daily that you did everything you could to the best of your ability and left because you HAD to! It was a very unhealthy situation for you to be in.

You must realize that you can not control your so called friend any more than you can control the weather. She must be responsible for her own actions no matter how poor they may be. It sounds as if this “friend” needed you to move in because she wanted to have a little more freedom and not be so locked down with 5 children. Most likely she took advantage of you in various ways by having you to be at their beckoning call every time that it was convenient for them. It was probably easy for them to make use of you so easily because you wanted to do nice things for them in the beginning, but then they started to take you for granted and it escalated from there. Then when she realized you were gone, she was hurt. She was probably not hurt because her friend left, but because her life of ease that she had become accustomed to for the past 3 years suddenly came to an abrupt end. This could have caused her to pass on the facebook ridicules, threats, and harrassmentson to you so easliy. She had to have someone to blame other than herself.

This is still no excuse for their behavior toward you.

The nightmares are reoccurring because of the abuse you were put through. You witnessed and were a part of abuse on seemingly a daily basis. This can leave a mental scar on you for a very long time. You may consider seeking professional help for a long term healing process.

I know this situation has to be very hard on you. You love those children as your own, and this too could be a reason you are finding it hard to let go. You could be going through what is called  separation anxiety disorder.  Again, this is something to discuss with a professional that could diagnose you and give you a proper treatment plan.

Before bed, I would only allow myself to think of happy thoughts, positive moments in my life or during the day at hand. Hopefully the brighter aspects of your subconscious mind will shine through and your nightmares will be replaced with peaceful dreams instead.

Always,

Marsha

Hello, I am just trying to get an unbiased take on this. Recently someone passed away and the parents asked for money for their son (a college educated adult with a full time job) for more education in lieu of flowers. I thought it inappropriate.   I have never seen such a thing, unless it’s a young child whose parent passed. I have seen donations to a cause in lieu of flowers, and that seems tactful, but not for an an adult who can support himself.

Just a sanity check,

Thanks,

HM

Dear HM,

I have heard of asking for cash in lieu of flowers in the past at funerals, but it is usually tactful and/or at the prior request of the deceased themselves. I feel torn on this current situation that you have described.

I do not like speaking negatively about anyone, and especially about those that I know nothing of. I am not aware of their circumstances or reasons behind making such a request at a time like this so I do not wish to judge their actions without more details from their perspective perhaps.

I will say that as a parent, I could not see myself ever making the same request for one of my sons education if another of my sons had just passed away. I would feel as if I were cheating my deceased son from his rightful respect being shown to him.

I would suggest that if you are uncomfortable meeting their request, then to go ahead and send the flowers anyways. Be certain to remain tactful in your attached card no matter how distasteful you found this whole situation to be. This is a time to honor the deceased and not bring attention to yourself.

Always,

Marsha

I have an issue in my life that is honestly embarrassing to discuss with people that are close to me. The issue has basically boiled over because of a specific incident, and I do need to clear my head and move forward at this point.

I’ve been living with a man for appx. a year and a half who initially moved into my home for a strictly platonic financial arrangement. I started to sleep with him 6 months after he moved in. He’s made me no promises, and in all fairness has kept it casual.

Recently there has been so much snow in my area. The last time, it was 19 inches. That day, he left while I was shoveling the snow by myself and returned about 4 hours later. He did not ask me if I was o.k, muchless if I needed any help. He went to his room, ate food he’d brought home, remained in his room until the late night, then left and spent the night away.

At first I was o.k —–feeling that he doesn’t have to do anything for me, and yet I got more and more agitated as I thought about it because I would have been satisfied with even a small acknowledgment from him as to how difficult the day had been.

I withdrew for about a week and a half, even though I really didn’t mean to do that, but I felt that it was better than to start a conversation with high emotions because a bad vibe would come up by talking about it just then, so I waited.

Tonight I went to him hoping to resolve the situation. Instead it became worse. I tried to be fair telling him that we cant always give fully and I understand that, but sometimes if all we can give is a word of encouragement then it can be enough. I tried to be calm and fair, I cant judge exactly how my words come across , but I wasn’t trying to  beat him up, just show him my perspective.

He took it badly, He called me an unbalanced, ungrateful person, telling me that he’s not a mind reader–I should’ve asked for help, he’s done things for me in the past which I fail to acknowledge, he didn’t tell me to shovel the snow all by myself, I shouldn’t have done it,  I’m cheap- I should’ve paid someone to do it (I’m so broke at the moment that I couldn’t  do that) Nevertheless I told him no one came around to shovel (they didn’t), he insisted that wasn’t true. Then he told me I wasn’t talking to him that day anyway (not true we were up until 3am the night before watching movies together) I called him a liar and told him he was trying to justify his actions by making up a lie. He walked away. An hour later, he came back and I opened up the conversation again. He told me the whole conversation was bullshit, that I have no perspective on myself. I told him that may be the case but it still doesn’t make my thoughts on that day completely wrong. He called me ungrateful over and over and kept telling me again that I’m cheap and I should’ve paid someone to do it. I told him I would respect him more if he came out and told me not to expect anything from him and to f*ck off. He said, “I’m not that type of person”, but I said , “you are”, In the end he said “where do we go from here?” I said I may be unbalanced but I have enough perspective to know that I have no business having any expectations of you. From now on, you can be sure that no mater what happens, I do not expect any help from you. He remained silent and walked away.

Ultimately the situation is out of control at this point. I wanted him  to acknowledge me as someone who is important to him and to apologize for giving me the impression that my well being was not important that day. That’s an apology which I’ll never get.

He’ll probably move out soon. I’m o.k with that. I would be sad in the sense that we did have some really nice moments as roommates, and for it to end on a bad note would suck. I just need some outside input on this. I doubt myself. I question if I should have taken the issue to him at all. Have I been unfair to him?  Was I expecting so much? Why do I feel that I was only expecting the bare minimum but that still was too much?

Thank You for reading this, and I hope you’re are able to respond,

Asking Too Much?

Dear Asking Too Much?,

Most all of us would like to have our deeds acknowledged in one way or the other.  We would all be very discouraged from doing anything at all if they were not rewarded with kind words of gratitude and/or heartfelt gestures. Even a simple hug can go a very long way.

It sounds to me as if this man is very self centered and would only lift a finger if it benefited him in one aspect or another.  I think your sexual affair was probably of the same accord. In his eyes you were probably more of a room mate with special benefits but ONLY when it was convenient to him.

Because you allowed him added bonuses or benefits, that tends to weigh on our sub-conscience  mind that there is that little something more there between us. Women tend to fall for that more so than men do. We allow our minds to believe that we are connected in some way. We can tell ourselves that there is nothing more between us, but it does not always register like that with our sub conscience mind.

I think it was great that you brought it up to him. This showed you what kind of a person he is really like. His reactions were rude and arrogant. He showed his true colors and his lack of interest in your life. You were not being unfair to him. You actually showed yourself what you already knew, but didn’t want to admit to. You showed yourself that he is just a roommate and NOTHING more should come from it. That means sex, cuddling, or even personal conversations.

It may be for the best if he did move on and you both went your separate directions. If you pursue another roommate, try finding one of the same gender or if it is another male, then I would suggest not jumping into his arms unless you are both going to be committed to one another.

Always,

Marsha

Dear Marsha:

Dear Desperate Father,

I feel that you have every right to be concerned. We all want what is best for our children and having someone so much older of the opposite sex, and given his current circumstances, must be a little distressing and full of concern to say the least.

I admire that your daughter and wife are trying to help this man, but he must want that help first. Sneaking around into your daughters room is not exactly going about things the right way. Anyone can fall upon hard times, but it is how we hold ourselves up and what our actions speak as to what it makes us become.

I would be very curious as  to why he is homeless. There has to be a reason that he is no longer welcome at his parents home anymore. Perhaps they passed away and he was left without family? Perhaps they simply could not afford themselves and he took it upon himself to step out of the home to make it on his own but found it more difficult than it was in his head at the time.  If either of these are/were the case, then by all means I would continue to support my wife in making efforts to find him shelter and a good job to get him back on track again and to let him know that he doesn’t have to be alone during these difficult times.

If he is homeless because of criminal issues such as drugs, alcohol, abuse, etc.; I would be even more concerned and try to keep my daughter and wife out of the picture as much as possible until you had time to straighten things out with him the correct way first.

Find out his history. Find out all details of why he is homeless. Explain to him that even if it were something of his doing and he wishes to change his lifestyle now, then you are willing to help him if he first is willing to help himself. Tell him that he is old enough to understand right from wrong and hiding out in your daughters bedroom or having/allowing her to skip school to help him is not going to be accepted. There is no reason to jeopardize your daughters education and future just because his has been tarnished. Any mature man will understand your requests and if he obliges, then help him in every way that you can. No man or woman needs to be treated as if they do not exist.

If he does not comply with your wishes, then tell him he must leave or be forced to leave one. Feel free to contact your local authorities to have him removed at any time. I doubt your daughter, at 16, will understand, but you can step back and say you gave him a chance and he was not willing to change himself, therefore you know you are doing what is best for your daughter and family.

Always,

Marsha

I’ve been friends with my best friend for a few years now. All my other friends and myself have always considered “Abby” to be a bit on the immature and naive side when it came to relationships. I was there throughout her first real “heart break” and she eventually got over it. Then along came “John.” at first, they seemed like a good couple. It made me happy to see her happy, considering she was unhappy about her last boyfriend for so long.

For the first few months everything was good. Then I started to become suspicious about John. He would always hint things at Abby, saying she needed to workout (even though she was already REALLY skinny) and always telling her what she should do. Abby never thought anything of it, and even though she would tell me what he’d say, she’d always defend him against me defending her.

Their relationship lasted about 8-10 months, but they were never exclusive. Abby always tried saying “patience is a virtue,” but I know deep inside she really wanted to be his actual girlfriend. She did whatever he wanted her to do, which resulted in her going against her own morals. He started to become more and more demanding and in turn they started arguing a lot. She would call me crying numerous times almost every night. As her best friend, this obviously put a strain on me too. I would always tell her she doesn’t need to put up with it, but she would always say, “Well hopefully he’ll change…”

During the last few months of their relationship, things got really bad for Abby’s home life (partially because of John, too). She even came to live with me and my family. Being up close and personal with her gave me a better idea of what her relationship with John was like. He was completely unsupportive, selfish, and just plain mean. But of course, she was still hoping for the best. Me and her had to share a bed with her at night, and I don’t know how many times I had to stay up late with her because she’d be crying – because of him.

My final straw with their relationship was when she decided to go spend mother’s day with his family instead of mine, even though MY mother had been supporting her with her drama with him and her own family as well. However, when he realized how far away my house was from his, he refused to come pick her up. Me and her had a long talk about him later on that day, and I thought she was fed up. I suppose they had their last conversation officially “ending” them, but she never told me exactly what happened.

After a few months, Abby moved to a new city, got a job, and seemed to be doing a whole lot better without him. But I know she never got over him. She never really tried to in my opinion. To her, he was her ideal choice of a man (for whatever reason…). She was with one of our friends from high school throughout summer, but again, nothing official. With this guy, she seemed distant, claiming she didn’t want anything serious like she had with john.

Now here’s where I need advice: It’s been months since Abby and john ended. That was back in May, and now she’s told me they have started talking again. She said she doesn’t want to rush into anything with him and whatever happens, happens, and that they’re “just friends”. However, I know her very well, and by the things she posts on twitter and Facebook I know she really wants to be with him again and that they’re a little more than just friends.

I’m all for her being happy, but she doesn’t realize that John has put a huge strain on mine and her friendship. She knows I hate him with a passion, so she doesn’t tell me anything that goes on with them. With us not in school anymore and not even living in the same city, we hardly talk at all. She’s told me before that she lost a lot of her friends in high school because of her relationship with her ex-boyfriend. I don’t think she gets that this can possibly happen again. My question isn’t if I should tell her how I feel, because she already knows. My question is how to I make her realize what’s going on? Or maybe is it just best that we end our friendship? If she IS the same Abby I know, I know she’ll go back to john. I just don’t want to hear about it when things fall apart again, because it really does bother me to hear about him. Helping her with her problems just causes more for me, and I’m finally done putting up with it. So should I wait and tell her when she comes crying to me or just give her a “heads up” now? Also, am  I considered a bad friend because i’ve told her I don’t want to hear about her a John? My minds all over the place. HELP!

A Concerned Friend

Dear A Concerned Friend,

Your friend already knows that you disapprove over her decision to pursue contact with someone that hurt her once before. She remembers how many nights you stayed up talking to her and trying to comfort her. She knows that you and your family were there for her when hers went bad, and how you opened your home and hearts to her in her time of need. You will always be her friend no matter what relationships she may endure throughout life.

Right now it seems as if she could be in Love with the idea of being in Love. She wants to have a relationship so badly that she is blinded by all the negatives that this man has put her through in the past. He may even have apologized to her for the way he treated her in their high school days. We do not know, or at least it was not mentioned, and if he did, this may be consolation enough to her in helping her decide to give him another chance.

She will have to be the only one to make this decision. We could talk to her until we are blue in the face, but ultimately it is her decision and only she can decide what is best for her. As her friend, it is important that you are there for her. If she calls, do not become emotionally attached to her situation. Keep in mind it is her decision and she has to be the one to see the light or the dark in her own life. If she calls to whine, just keep in mind that she loves you enough to hear your advice even though she may not follow it. Anything you say to her, could eventually help guide her to see this relationship for what it really is and not what she wants it to be.

You are either a Friend or NOT.  Friends do not judge by who you date, what you wear, where you go, or where you come from. Friends are for life, they have a marriage of their own through the good and the bad.  You have to decide if she is worth friendship or just letting go as someone you once knew.

Always,

Marsha

I have an issue with respecting the people that I love the most. I seem to take out my frustrations on them, almost unconsciously. I don’t lash out at them, but more of just an arrogant, short, demeaning tone. This also includes mood changes toward them in certain circumstances and sometimes coming off defensive. I often believe that I do these things when I find myself uncomfortable in a situation. None the less, this isn’t a good characteristic to display, especially toward the ones you love the most. I’ve tried to pay attention to detail and notice when I’m doing it but for some reason I overlook it. Could you help me with some suggestions for things that I can do to resolve this. Thank you so much.

Nikki

Dear Nikki,

Sometimes we tend to act on an impulsive behavior rather than giving it a conscience thought.  Even as adults we sometimes need to discipline ourselves in different aspects of our lives that we know are incorrect or in the need of improvement.  There is nothing shameful in self discipline and we do it to strengthen us spiritually, physically, and/or mentally.

I would suggest tying a bold ribbon around your wrist every morning.  A constant reminder to show love and compassion rather than acting out impulsively.  You can find many colored ribbons and charms to use that will match your fashion decor of the day.  When ever you are around your loved ones, look at your bracelet and let it be a constant reminder as to why you are wearing it.

Another suggestion would be to use a money jar just as we have done for cursing or swearing.  When ever you find yourself saying something demeaning or negative, place a specified amount into the jar each time.  Sooner or later, your wallet is going to feel the pinch and it will hopefully cause you to be a little more alert.

If you have not already done so, talk to your family, friends, and loved ones about your issue.  Do something special for them, and let them know that they are loved and tell them that you do not wish to be like this toward them. I am sure that they will be more than willing to help you out in any way they can.

This is also something you may wish to discuss with your family Dr. about. Perhaps the stress is a little over bearing for you and he may know of something to aid in this behavior.

You have already made the biggest step of your healing process, and that is to recognize and admit you have a problem.  Now you must act upon correcting it.  Talk to God.  He can and will walk us through all of life’s difficult times.

Always,

Marsha

Dear Marsha,

This is a difficult problem.  I lived with a boyfriend for four years while in college.  He was an English PhD. candidate at the time we were together.  We split up and I went on to marry someone I have been married to for thirty years.  Before I go any further I should say we had an unbelievably passionate and intense sex life.  As lovers we were great.  As life partners, not so much. It wouldn’t have worked.  The breakup was tough.

My college boyfriend has resurfaced (through Facebook).  He has been emailing me pieces he is working for a second book he is writing about our time together.  He says the first book he wrote was published about a year ago. The first book is a collection of vignettes about our most intimate moments.  There are no names used – only He and She.  He wrote it under a pen name, which he won’t divulge.  He met his editor in the Boston area.  He tells me the book is doing well in Chicago and on the West coast.  His publisher chose to publish it under “Artistic Romance.” That’s all I know.  I do have this one review that he emailed me: “It is an intense unresolved journey through one man’s heart and mind, but as he often reminds us – these are not pictures of him.  In my very private moments, I would like to think I was like her to someone at sometime, as imperfectly beautiful, as important to him then and still, as joyous and as painful a memory. Then I shiver at the thought anyone would see me and remember me with this kind of clarity, definition, and detail.”

My problem is that I am obsessed with finding this book.  I have tried unsuccessfully.  I really want to know what is out there about me in book form.  When I asked him why I couldn’t read the book he said, “Think about what I have sent you so far.  There are things in that book that would humiliate me if anyone, especially you, knew about them.”

I don’t know if my question to you is: “How can I find this book?” or “Can you help me to stop obsessing over finding this book”

Boyfriend Book Obsession

Dear Boyfriend Book Obsession,

I went to work on this situation the moment I received your email.  I am giving you information on behalf of both of your questions.

*I started my search with the category “Artistic Romance”, and this came up a dead end.  Most genre’s of this nature are for Art and Paintings.  I, as a part time writer, have never heard of that category being used for books.

*I then went to search for vignettes of intimate moments and the category or genre kept coming up as being erotic fiction, over and over again.

*I copied the review that he sent to you and again, it came up with nothing.

*I searched for editors in the Boston area that have helped to release a book within the last year, and I did find an E Book that had been released in the erotic fiction category, but names were mentioned so this could not be you or him.  It would have been nice to know the name of his publisher for this kind of search however.

* I searched the review in whole and in segments and there was nothing mentioned about any recent books.

*I continued to search in many more places, and as you, I too came up empty handed.  I could not search his name as this was not given to me, but trusted that you already had.

With all of that being said, here is what I think.

I think he found you on Facebook, wanted to reconnect, and thought by bringing up your past intimate moments together would help you both to relate to one another.  He wanted to make certain you remembered him in the same light as he remembered you.  Perhaps wanting to make an emotional claim on you.

I do not think that there is a book.  If there was, I feel that he would have told you about his accomplishments  and would have been tickled to have you to share his happiness with him, even if the story was about you.  Instead, he claims that this will embarrass him. This really does not make much sense to me, he is boastful enough to share snippets with you, but not the entire book?  Did you ever consider that his background as an English PhD could easily give him the abilities to write or jot something quickly about a moment he is able to recall the two of you sharing? He probably just sits there, writes these thoughts or memories down, and then sends them on to you claiming they were in his book.

You are showing him with your obsession to read his full book, that you still carry an interest with your past relationship.  He knows that he still has some sort of connection with you and the longer he can keep this hold, the more of his foot, or leverage he has in the door of your life still.

Do not fall for this emotional entrapment.  I would suggest that you no longer show any interest in his books &/or his writings.  It may even be best if you deleted him from all connections.

I am certain your husband would not like to know of a possible obsession with a book of this nature.  He would want for you to remember him and your times of endearment with him.  After all, that should be the only man that you carry an obsession for.

Always,

Marsha

Dear Marsha,

For the past two months I have been getting a lotLOT of calls that when I answer the phone, the caller just sighs several times.  I really am not sure who this is, and they are obviously blocking their number because my caller id always shows unknown caller.  I usually will listen to them for a few minutes, and try getting them to talk to me, but then I hang up once I know they are not going to talk no matter how hard I try to get them to.  I have also had hang up calls on my answering machine.  A friend of mine said this could be dangerous and that I should call the police. I just think it is someone playing a prank on me.  What do you think of these sighing and seemingly scary calls?

Haunting Calls

Dear Haunting Calls,

I personally would like for you to contact your local phone company and get further instructions to trace this caller right away.

I agree that this could be a potentially scary and/or dangerous situation, and it is always best to play it safe instead of second guessing and perhaps one day being sorry for not doing something about it.

There are many sick people in this world.  It is very likely that someone is calling you on a regular basis to gain knowledge

of what times you are home, what times you are awake, etc.  He may be plotting this information to be a part of his future use.  The caller could be a stalker, wanting to know the times he could catch you at home alone, or he could be a thief wanting to know the times you are usually away from your home.  This caller could also be a pervert that just wants to hear a feminine voice, and if you keep trying to get him to talk to you, he could be sitting on the other end of the phone getting his kicks.  There are many possibilities.  We can not always assume it is someone playing an innocent joke on us.  Situations like this should be treated very seriously and with caution.

After calling the phone company, I would suggest that you make out a journal of what days and times you recall him calling you.  It would also help if you could remember if you have given him your name or any other personal information while trying to get him to talk to you.  You can also write down any additional information that you may think would help anyone to identify this person or their location such as noise you may have heard in the background in addition to his sighing.  (audible sirens, other voices, train, etc.)  This information could be more useful to the local authorities than you may think if the situation calls for it.

I am thankful that you took the time to write this question to me, for I feel it is of great importance for me to tell you to do  something about it fast.  Please, call the phone company now or as soon as they are open next.

Always,

Marsha

Many people like to make resolutions with themselves for the New Year.  Some will vow to try to lose weight, stop smoking, or visit the doctor more regularly.  Others will vow to attend church more regularly, to stop cursing, or to go out more to meet new people.

I, myself, have made the resolution to learn to be more appreciative for all of the wonderful things I do have, instead of focusing on all of the things I “wish” I had.

At one point or another we always seem to find ourselves saying “I wish we had ______” or “We need to have _______” but how many times do we actually say “Thank you lord for providing me with ________ just so I am able to do _______ on a daily basis”

I don’t care how minuscule it may be, I am going to try to be thankful for it and if possible to think of where I would be if I didn’t have it at all.

If you made a resolution and would like to share it with us, please leave a comment below.

Always,

Marsha

We here at

Always Marsha

would like to wish everyone a

Very Merry Christmas!

I am blessed to come from a close knit family, and that makes for really special holidays.  When your family comes together under one roof for any get together, it should be considered a blessing.  Life is precious, and we need to embrace these moments that will one day become a mere memory of a loved one.

We have had a few holidays when not everyone was able to make it for a visit.  These holidays were not the same, but we did try to make the best of it.  We would always call our missing loved ones on that special day just to let them know we missed them and were thinking of them.  It was still really great just to hear their voices.

This year, make it a point to even go out of your way( if you need to) in order to call or visit your loved ones and to let them know just how much they really mean to you.

Christmas should not be based solely on who gives the most or the best gifts.

You are taking Christ out of Christmas when we let our focuses dwell on material items.

I would also like to encourage everyone to read the Birth Of Christ from the bible to their children or other family members. The account of Jesus’ birth can be found in Matthew 1:18 – 2:23 and Luke 2:1 – 24

I will now close with a poem I wrote many years ago.

I DREAM OF CHRISTMAS

I DREAM OF CHRISTMAS

AS BEING A SNOWY WHITE

WAKING IN THE MORNING

SEEING EVERYONE’S FACES SHINING BRIGHT

I SEE MOM, DAD,

MY SIBLINGS TOO

THE ONLY ONES MISSING

IS SANTA AND YOU!!!
