Okay Santa, Let's Try This Again...

Dear Santa, 

Last year I wrote you a very nice letter with a few simple requests, but I felt a little cheated since I didn't get anything on my list (not even a new iron, come on, Santa!). 

I feel like this year I've also been very good and have a few simple requests. 
  
1. A Cure for Cancer - I know it's too late for Matthew, but this really is a horrible disease that I wouldn't wish upon anyone. I know I asked for this last year, but I'll probably ask for this every year until a cure is found.

2. Comfort - My entire family has really been through the ringer this year. This holiday season isn't going to be easy, especially when we think about who is missing from all the festivities. I hope that my family can find comfort in memories and in each other. 

3. Love - Because love is such a powerful thing, it can comfort, it can transform, and it can heal. There can't seem to be enough love in the world.

Love, Bethany


  P.S. If you really aren't able to bring me any of the things on my list, I still need a new iron.

Dear Santa,

Dear Santa,

I would like to think that I have been a very good girl this year (but I think you realize this already). So for Christmas I would like the following: 

1. World Peace (wouldn't that be so nice?) 
2. A cure for cancer - this one might be a little selfish on my part, but it would help more then just Amazing Boyfriend, I promise.
3. Happiness - because this world can always use a little more

Love, Bethany

P.S. If you are unable to bring me any of the things on my list, a new iron that doesn't have a broken knob that falls off every time I use it would be nice too.
