A CHRISTMAS STORY

They talked about things
in their lives that
they had in common...

Parents who divorced when they were little,
a mother with serious personal and boyfriend problems,
having to move from place to place and change schools,
leaving friends behind and
having to make new ones...

Battling "dark forces" in scary nightmares,
and moments of feeling lonely and scared
with no one to talk to and confide in....
they were all things they needed to share.

Pain-filled tears
streamed down their cheeks
as all three poured
their hearts out to each other...
a truly tender scene.

Pooh had a look of surprise
as he noticed hazy, dark clouds
rise out of Amanda and Samantha
as they cried and weeped.

A warm happy shiver
of emotion went through him
as he thought to himself.
"Thank you, God!
Thank you, Mariah!
They're crying out the pain
of all the bottled up emotions
inside them and
it's washing and clearing out
the dark, negative energies
from their bodies.
Oh thank you!"

Mariah noticed it too
as she wiped a tear
from her eye.
"You girls are
so beautiful and
so precious!...
I love you...
SOOO much!"

She moved over to
the two little lion cubs
and held them close,
rocking them gently
like a mother...
with her children.
