Author’s Note
My parents separated at one point in their dating, and lost track of each other, thinking their problems insurmountable. Absence, however, worked its magic on them both.
When my dad called for my mom at her parents’ house, she never answered the phone, and he was always told she wasn’t there. He’d almost given up when he took a holiday job at the post office, and saw a letter go by addressed to his lady love at the nurses’ training program where she was studying. Over Christmas, Mom’s little sister told her that her long lost swain had been calling and calling….
Dad wrote to her at her school, a letter of such contrition and charm that they got back together, and within six months were married. Their little holiday miracle still makes them smile, sixty-five years and seven children later.
Hoping all your days are filled with smiles and miracles…
