Dear Santa

Merry ChristmasDear Santa,

2013 has been a tough year for many people,   with the gifts often not being under the tree I‘d like to ask that you to deliver these presents this Christmas:

For my Alzheimer’s community:

– For those who are suffering with Alzheimer’s, a gift that brings them comfort for a single moment, every moment all year long

– For caregivers, they need a gift that is just for them, no one else, that they can use everyday

– For medical researchers, a gift of discovery that brings new energy to their mission

And for the rest of us:

– remind us that it is OK to cry, it is good to dream and to laugh

– fill empty hearts with a sense of joy and optimism through supportive families, good friends, and a sense of purpose

– Open closed minds to new possibilities through removing the blinders that constrain our thinking and limit our dreams

– Help those who feel hopeless with a surprise gift that brings joyful anticipation

– Bring those who are angry, the gift of forgiveness and peace

– For all of us, patience and irrational hope to deal with the daily challenges of life

– Help each of us to understand that we individually represent what we love and hate in this world. Help us to increase the love and reduce the hate starting within ourselves.

– Finally Santa, that every memory created is a memory we will use one day to look back on and evaluate our life; so remind us to cherish each moment, value each relationship and never take anything, or anyone, for granted.

Thank you Santa and Merry Christmas everyone.

Climb On!

P.S. Oh, and you can bring me a new 4-season single walled tent 🙂
