I hurried into the local department store to grab some last minute Christmas gifts. I looked at all the people and grumbled to myself. I would be in here forever and I just had so much to do. Christmas was beginning to become such a drag. I kinda wished that I could just sleep through Christmas. But I hurried the best I could through all the people to the toy department. Once again I mumbled to myself at the prices of all these toys, and wondered if the grandkids would even play with them. I found myself in the doll aisle. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a little boy about 5 holding a lovely doll. He kept touching her hair and he held her so gently. I could not seem to help myself. I just kept looking over at the little boy and wondered whom the doll was for. I watched him turn to a woman and he called his aunt by name and said, Are you sure I dont have enough money. She replied a bit impatiently, You know that you dont have enough money for it. The aunt told the little boy not to go anywhere that she had to go get some other things and would be back in a few minutes. And then she left the aisle. The boy continued to hold the doll. After a bit I asked the boy whom the doll was for. He said, It is the doll my sister wanted so badly for Christmas. She just knew that Santa would bring it. I told him that maybe Santa was going to bring it. He said, No, Santa cant go where my sister is...I have to give the doll to my Mamma to take to her. I asked him where his sister was. He looked at me with the saddest eyes and said, She has gone to Heaven. My Daddy says that Mama is going to have to go be with her. My heart nearly stopped beating. Then the boy looked at me again and said, I told my Daddy to tell Mama not to go. I told him to tell her to wait till I got back from the store.
