DADDYS LIFE, BELIEF AND CHRISTMAS-WISH
( For my dear daughter Mette )
I BELIEVE IN SANTA CLAUS !
-I saw him in the forest today ! Click picture to see for yourself.
Santa Claus has come to me every year since I was a child. I am 62y now and most of the “everlasting” people of my world have passed away or disappeared in some way one by one. I believed in most of them, but they disappeared.
“Listen” , my parents said to me when I was a kid,”he knows what is the best for us and our country”. ( He was the prime minister and should rebuild our country after the destroying second world war). I believed in him - but he disappeared without having solved my famiiy’s problems . My dad disappeared too, he died - I was 5y then and I realy believed in him.
“The good God, he is the allmighty ruler of the world. He created this beautiful world within 6 days and rested on the 7th. Read and obey what is written in the holy bible, and you will live forever”, they told me. I read and every sunday I went to church listening to our local priest, the most beloved person in our small community.I did not understand why the allmighty God accepted all the evil on earth, but I realy believed in God and our priest and what he said, but suddenly he disappeared - dead from a heartattack at age 46 they said. He had not solved our problems before his one and only good God took him away.
His successors I did not believe in.
When my mother became a very old and weakend lady and I had my own family (two lovely daughters) , I often looked at my mum and thought “I believe in everything you have told me” - I loved her very much, but one day she disappeared when I was not there, my dear mother was dead - I realy believed in her!
Other persons I believed in also disappeared year by year . New “allmighty” Gods poped up - and with them new holy books knowing everything. How could they all be the one and only allmighty good God, and why didn’t they solve all problems? - I did not believe in them.
- WHO COULD I BELIEVE IN?
SANTA CLAUS NEVER DISAPPEARED - IN HIM I DO BELIEVE !
He never disappeared, he kept comming back every year as promissed. I still do my very best every year to be kind, and even though I do not think I’m that good he keeps his promise - he comes back.
Lucky me I got a picture of Santa today on his way to somebody(I think). Right now I’m sitting here hoping I have been kind enough to make Santa Claus fullfill my one and only Christmas wish this year - Please Santa - go visit my daughter Mette who is not happy now - please visit her and give her back the happy smile she has lost. I wish so terribly hard to see her happy again. This is my one and only wish for this Christmas. My dear, dear litle girl is a grown up woman now but I still need to see her happy smile.
All those years when people I loved and believed in disappeared you allways came back bringing gifts, happyness, new hope and reestablished my precious belief Santa.
I BELIEVE IN YOU SANTA CLAUS!
and I’m sure you will fulfill my one and only Christmas wish this year-
GIVE METTE HER HAPPY SMILE BACK !
I love you Mette -
and I know Santa Claus will visit you soon.
