Please read the whole article. The story resonates for me. My father passed away on a Christmas Eve after a long struggle, and I wasn't there at his bedside.

There’s a link in the Fox News article to another in USA Today. That’s a real beard & mustache Santa sports. He keeps it groomed & bleached white for his yearly role visiting sick children.

I haven't even read opened up the article and my eyes are tearing up. How heartbreaking and touching, all at the same time...

“’They say I’m going to die,’ he told me. ‘How can I tell when I get to where I’m going?’ I said, ‘Can you do me a big favor?’ He said ‘Sure!’ 'When you get there, you tell them you’re Santa’s No. 1 elf and I know they’ll let you in.’ He said, ‘They will?’ I said, ‘Sure.’”

“He kind of sat up, and gave me a big hug and asked one more question: ‘Santa can you help me?’ I wrapped my arms around him. Before I could say anything, he died right there. I let him stay, just kept hugging and holding on to him,”

When you know you have to come back tomorrow and take it again tomorrow you have no choice but to learn how to “take it”.

Thank you for sharing this story, we never get this kind of story locally.

In addition to the real beard & mustache, Santa says he’s 6 feet, 310 pounds, with “just enough lap for the children.” A perfect Kris Kringle.
