One Christmas morning a long time ago, I remember, as a young boy, waking up to see what great presents Santa Claus had brought me. When my sisters and I finally went into the living room with the Christmas tree lit up and all the lights in the room a-glow, I saw it. It was what I had always (that year) wanted. It was the one thing I had been persistent in asking Santa for every time I saw him. And there it sat, beside the tree and unwrapped, because Santa was too busy to wrap something that big and awkward in shape.

Christmas and covering the burns of life

0

Some time ago I read of a woman and her daughter walking through an airport, hustling to make a plane connection. The little girl’s face was covered with a mask, which allowed her to see out through it, but was protecting her from everything else. It did not take much observation to discern that this little girl had been a burn victim. The long sleeves and long pants, as well as the mask, were all the telltale signs of serious injury.
