What I Want This Holiday Season Is Something Different

Written by admin on Tuesday, March 31st, 2009 in Shopping.

I’ve never been one to ask for a normal gift under my LED christmas treeFor the past forty-three years of my life, I would always wish for something unique. {Believe it or not|You may not think what I say is true}, every year Santa comes to my house and gives me exactly what I want, whom until now I believe exists.

As an example, there was a time that I wished for two gentlemen to court me on Valentine’s Day, and it happened. The smirk was beautifully carved on my face, because I was thinking Santa made it happened. I thought I would try my luck again the next year, I again wished for something extraordinary, I wished with all my heart that I would meet the man of my dreams when I took my trip to Germany. And then three days before the next Christmas day, when I went to Germany on the train, I was sitting beside a man who I talked to for the entire ride. That man became my husband, Ralph. Now that is a great gift no one gets under their LED xmas tree.

This year, I am already through of wishing something for my self. this year I’d like to use my Christmas wish for one of my patients who has a bad case of diabetes. She is supposed to have her foot cut off that she is losing to the disease on the 1st of January, because it got infected . She is a Native American, and a mother of six girls; her youngest daughter is only three and her oldest in nine. Her husband died of myocardial infarction two years ago. Her life will be a lot different if she has the operation, knowing that her income only comes from a simple family business of pottery and blown glass.

If I can decide what I really wanted this Christmas season, I would ask that I do a good job on the operating table, and I can give the best advice to her family so that other complications of diabetes will be prevented. I also wish that the government would give more priority concerns for minority groups, especially those who are suffering from severe illnesses.
