I had a part in a Nativity play I was Joseph, the leading
actor. Every boy in the school wanted to
be near the girl that played the lead female part. Deanna.
Deanna was Mary. I had long since
been in love with her, so of course I was devastated when I got ill and had to
be hospitalized. No end seemed in
sight. The doctors could not find out
what ailed me. I went through a battery
of test and still no results and not feeling any better. The Christmas season was fast approaching and
I was feeling depressed.
Sick and in
hospital how miserable can that be? Then
I got a gift a pair of Cowboy guns and holster. My spirits perked up. Still sick but in a much better mood. Then one evening a man came visiting whom I
had never seen before, and he took a picture of me, standing on my bed with my
guns drawn. He promised to return a later with a copy of the photograph. My mood changed miraculously and I began to
feel better. The spirit of Christmas was
in the air again. Oh! How I love
this festive season of the year. Soon came
the day that I was to be discharged the man had not returned with the picture
of me. I was packed and ready and
waiting for my parents to pick me up. I
sat on my bed feeling very sad and pensive. May be I would never see the man who
took the picture of me again? Then I
would never see how I looked?
However, remember this is Christmas just as I remove my
hands from my eyes the man came rushing in, waving my
picture over his head.
I love it! I look great! I was overjoyed.
I remember Christmas
