Dear God...

by Marian

As he watched his new family getting ready for Christmas…the boy spoke…

Dear God, - I don't know if you 'member me, but my name's Vin Tanner and the last time I talked to ya my ma was mighty sick. I asked if you could please not make her hurt no more. That were 3 years ago and I was sooo mad at ya, I said I hated ya, 'cause after I asked ya my ma went a way for good. I didn't want ma ta go away. I miss her sooo much but now I got me a pa an' a Buck an' I just want her ta know that I'm ok . She don't need ta worry 'bout me no more. - Unca Josiah told me 'bout your little boy. Real sorry he had to die like that. Hope he's happy now being with his ma. - I thank ya God for givin' me JD and a new pa… Two new pa's. Well I got ta go now. We's goin' to get a Christmas tree just wanted ta thank ya for takin' my mama an' keepin' her safe until I can watch out fer her. - Merry Christmas.

The little boy stood to walk away, stopped and turned back saying,

Oh yeah. I don't hate at ya no more.
