I believe in Santa Clause!

It took me 39 years, but now there is no denying him any longer: 

Santa is real.  

Here's the proof, found in our mailbox:

(click image to enlarge, for sometimes seeing is believing)

And to erase any lingering doubts,

he confirmed his existence through sending numerous elves 

(none of whom revealed their pointy ears;-)

 to deliver an abundance of hugs, food, cards, prayers,

 e-mails, words of comfort, time and more

to encourage and care for us in our loss.

So I am compelled to agree with one of our boys who recently remarked :

 "I think Sinterklaas [Santa] must know Jesus", 

for he has a big heart,  
 and gives abundantly-
above and beyond what we could ever have 
asked for or imagined...

Thank you

to all elves seen and unseen.
You have loved us well.
