When Chad was 7 or 8 he came to me and said someone had told him Santa wasn’t real. I always had mixed feelings telling my sons about Santa, the Tooth Fairy etc. After all I was trying to teach them not to tells lies, but yet here I was perpetuating the existence of these fictional creatures. So when he asked, I decided to be honest with him. I sat him on my lap and tried my best to explain that, while Santa didn’t truly exist, we all are Santa in a way because we give our loved ones gifts that will bring happiness and joy to them. He was crying. I was crying. Then he looked up at me with those big blue eyes and said, “I’m not even going to ask about the Easter bunny.” I was relieved! I love you Chad!!
