Dear Santa

This year what I want for Christmas is simple and true I do want a few tangible things Like some boots for heading through the snow Or like a 2nd car that doesn’t even need to be new. But what I want the most, It is not something that you can do. What I want is to say goodbye! Goodbye to the cancer that my mom has And hello to the strength she once knew! I want her to say goodbye To the nursing home she needs to stay I want her to say hello to the strength of yesterday. The cancer came as an unwanted surprise And what I want for Christmas is its demise. I want my mom to be healthy and whole I want her cancer to go, go, go!

Love this one. A high five!!! On this line here, add a word that I will put in parentheses: To the nursing home (where)she needs to stay. Sorry to hear she has this problem. I got cancer six years ago, level 2. Sure trying to be sure it does not return. I suggest for your mother to take ESSIAC TEA, and everyone else should take it for prevention!!
