even though eunice doesn't really believe in the christ child anymore he still writes a letter. 2 visiting his mother who's had to take his sister to the clinic once again. and it's nice to have something of my own. the 1st thing to tat and you and i think fleetly understand him because we're in the clinic so much. it was pretty good really bad this year feel like that all happened so quickly. when fiona's poorly it's always tense because it's the patty internet if he had a reliable partner it'd be nice but it's difficult when she had he. known as his sister fiona is 19 and has been very sick since birth sometimes their mother spends weeks mcclintic with her illness often doesn't know whether she'll be home after school the grandparents help out at the drop of a hat. your. mom had lung and went to his grandmother had a dog for

a long time and when we had to go to the clinic a lot it was like a substitute mother for him because he had someone to cuddle and eunice could chat with him of that because. the owners meets a puppy in the park just 12 weeks old flocks. to

was was this just what visiting hours must. it's not too big and looks like it would cope with the outdoors they decide to buy it. if. we are futility minded we don't go to church as much as we used to. think we can't understand it. why would he do that. justice or why would this sweetest child have to suffer so much. it seems and that's why we're angry sometimes so we don't then go to church. again given their source rituals are still important to the family of. people who father and son decorate them and to the t. seen together. how to survive it.

christmas. i'll put the candles on the tree and buy a present for my mom then i'm allowed to watch t.v. all day. i'm loath to even disclose the bell rings and we all come downstairs and then the curtain opens and there's the christmas tree. on customs and to cap flag the candles are lit on the tree and there's christmas music and then we sing. well done it is mikey so. there's that it s. it's better if you rush in open the presents and then eat you can sing afterwards well a lack of an element singing isn't as important as opening presents. 1 dear christ child i want to know why you never come to me i believe in you maybe it's our dress.
