(Continued from page three) 00 I choke up and just can’t get ii out. You see, seven years ago I met and married one of the prettiest women I’ve ever seen. She was small and delicate and I loved her deeply. A year after we w'ere married she told me she was going to have a baby. At first I was scared because she was so tired and worn out all the time, but Dr. Bishop said we had nothing to worry about as long as she took care of herself. But when Jimmy was born Jeanie died and I felt as though my world had died with her. 1 had wanted the baby, too, but I couldn’t help but think that if he had not been born Jeanie might not have died. Of course I realized later that it was the wrong way to feel, but I still couldn’t care for him as I wanted to. I love him, believe me, I do.” The room was very quiet. Kathy wanted to cry but she forced herself to speak. “I’m sorry we didn’t under stand. We only looked at the sur face and I guess we believed what we wanted to believe. Think how much your wife looked forward to his coming and I am sure that you will find it much easier to show your love for Jimmy. “There are only a few more days until Christmas. With your help, we can give Jimmy the best Christmas he ever knew. Not just toys, but love and affection. That is the most important of all . . . love and the feeling that he is wanted by you.” “I don’t know how to thank you Miss . . .” “Donnels, Kathy Donnels. In a way you have Ted Williams to thank, but really you have God to thank for not taking your son from you tonight. Good-night, sir. Ted and I •will see you later this wek so we can plan that Christmas- party for Jimmy.” The next few days passed swiftly and Kathy was afraid she and Ted would not get everything done in time. When Mr. Brett returned home on Christmas eve he found them deco rating a small Christmas tree which they had set up in the corner of the living room. There were presents everywhere. “We told all his friends about the party and they sent gifts,” said Kathy. “Isn’t that nice?” “I never knew people could be so good,” said Mr. Brett brokenly. “I . . . I have a few thing I thought he would like. Could I do anything?” “We have everything almost done. You go over to the hospital and talk to Jimmy \#ille they are getting him ready to bring home. He would like for you to come. Just don’t forget and tell him about the party,” said Ted. “I arranged for an ambulance to bring him home at 6:00. Will that be too early?” “Not at all,” said Kathy. Mr. Brett left and Kathy and Ted worked happily together. “Brett is a nice guy and I’m going to apolo gize for what I’ve said about him,” .said Ted. Kathy smiled. She understood how he felt. “Just think what I would have missed if jj! had not been at the hospital last Sunday!” “Hey, I haven’t even thought of ,-hat. Why were you there?” “My sister is a nurse and I was waiting for her to be relieved. She nad been down earlier and said she was staying with a little boy who had been brought in that morning with pneumonia. Of course' I didn’t know until later that it was Jimmy.” They continued with their work, iiach was thinking how much he had .0 be thankful for. Ted set up a Single bed in the room where Jimmy could lie and see the tree and pres ents. When they were through they sat down' on the couch to wait for Jimmy and his father. Shortly they heard the elevator door slam and they hurried to open che door of the apartment. “Merry Christmas, Jimmy!” they said as he was wheeled into the room. How happy he was to see Ted! He smiled at his new friend, Kathy. His father had told him about Kathy and what she had done for them. When Jimmy saw the room, tears came to his eyes and he said, “Ain’t friends wonderful. Dad?" Mr. Brett’s answer was clearly seen in the look he gave Ted and Kathy. In his heart he hoped they would find happiness together as he and Jeanie had once known it—the way he and Jimmy would know happi ness in the days to come. Somewhere in Heaven that night, God and his angels must have looked down on earth and smiled when they saw the joy the Christmas season was bringing to God’s children. ^0^ MERRY CHRISTMAS From HOMEROOM 209 Joo Bobbie Bud Lois Hoyle Anne Millie Peggy E.
