WHAT I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS

It’s time for me to be selfish! Here is what I need for Christmas, and I want it NOW!

I want my beautiful wife to live for a long time, so I never miss her wise consul, her grace and elegance, (even when she sneezes loudly), or her beautiful face.

I want my son’s to grow not only mentally, but: spiritually, to have peace in their lives, and to honor their Mother and look after their sister after I leave this life. I want them to find happiness when they marry and leave me with a legacy of grandchildren.

I want my beautiful daughter Ellen to continue to laugh, smile and light up my life. She should live to at least 100, and everyday of her life should improve.

I want for all my friends to have a little peace in their lives. I want them not to want, grieve or lose anything that is of personal value in their hearts.

I want for my sisters and their families to prosper in peace, to find cures where cures are needed, and to spread that happiness that I get from seeing them.

Likewise, I need my wife’s family to similarly have peace and prosperity, to stay healthy and continue to be who they are.

I want my Mom, to continue doing her charitable work in the hospital she volunteers at: at Brookhaven Memorial. I want her friendship with Henry to last forever.

I need to see the people I love: the developmentally disabled and those that care for them find only success, and happiness. That the work, which the staff does at AHRC Suffolk Chapter: is fruitful and continues.

I need for the children of this world to stop suffering, not be abused, and live in complete happiness.

I need for all the sickness and affliction that consumes many of us, to dissipate and never appear, especially in children.

I want to continue the friendships I’ve cultivated, renewed, and found, to continue in my lifetime. They should all find peace and happiness. I need that.

I want all my readers to never be disappointed in what I have to say, to enjoy reading, and to continue reading.

I want all my neighbors to see the joy I see in having them nearby, good people all, like my family and friends.

And for you dear readers: I want peace, happiness and health forever.

If I can get these wants, then I can sit down in peace, never wanting, never needing, never hungry for more.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
