This Is For Reallys: 2005

In the grocery store she had tearfully told us about CUCIL.
She worked for them.
It is a group with the goal of empowering people
with disabilities to reach their full potential.

As we approached the restaurant
a woman on crutches said to me,
"I haven't seen you for such a long time."
I spoke with her and then we entered the front door
and found a room full of smiling people.


A small boy, about four, crawled up on Santa's knee. He looked Santa square in the eye, straightened himself up, and posed for some kind of proclamation. His eyes were wide. He had a cute little pug nose and you sensed that he was all business.

"This is for reallys!"
He made sure Santa was listening as he told him what he wanted for Christmas. It was like he was cancelling out anything he had said or written before. This was it.
"This is for reallys!"
It is always touching to be in the presence of those who struggle so much and those who work so hard to assist them.

Santa and Mrs. Claus,
Thank you so much for coming to our party and giving so much of yourselves. Your giving attitude set the mood for the whole party, and it was wonderful to be there with you!
It was our pleasure to be there. There was so much joy and happiness in the room. It was contagious. Mrs. Claus
