Default To my Secret Santa

On Christmas Eve I received an unexpected gift, perhaps that is part of the definition of a gift.

"A gift for you, in remembrance of your Jessa. May the joy of the holiday season be with you throughout the year. From Secret Santa"

There are countless tragedies in the world. The journey's end for one sweet little girly dog no matter how cherished is not one of them. From Jessa, I know an animal can and does love, there is no question in my mind or heart. A sweet legacy. Jessa was my constant and only companion for 14 years. I miss her.

Thank you Secret Santa. Thank you for the gift of joy.

Three things will last forever - faith, hope, and love - and the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13

I am in awe of this Secret Santa who definitely has a very compassionate heart to go along with a very generous spirit. Learning of this gift warms my heart and reminds me there are angels amongst us.

This is the best kind of giving of all. Someone out there isn't looking for public praise, just to touch some special people. And I see her/his wish is coming true.
