Deer might fly, why not? I met you…..
The first Christmas that we spent together, Billy set the standard tradition.
We were in Fort Worth, and it was the second time for him to meet my parents. As quiet as he is, I imagine he was a bit overwhelmed with the Italian loudness and fun. Christmas Eve at my parents house means an evening of visiting with friends and family over mixed drinks and a roaring fireplace. Dinner is at midnight, and I remember Billy was ready to go to bed.
The night grew long opening presents. It was close to 1 a.m. when he leaned over to me in the midst of wrapping paper, laughter and all the chatter and whispered in my ear “I want you for Christmas”.
My breath caught, and all the sounds around me grew muted. All I could hear were his words ringing sweetly in my ear…..his warm breath lingering like a promise.
That is all he has ever asked for at Christmas.
I hope he knows how pleased that makes me.
Tonight, after the kids are all tucked into their beds and the lights on the tree are glittering, Santa will visit, leaving green, red and silver packages shining under the tree.
Bill will be waiting for me. He is all that I want.
Merry Christmas From our family to yours.
Have a Merry Christmas …I hope i could only find as sweet of a guy like Bill
