It is a lovely Christmas Eve for the world. Lights decorate the snow line streets as last-minute shoppers are hurrying to get that last gift. Richard it is the saddest day of his life. December 24th is the day he buried his wife. Not that he wanted to be at the cemetery on this day, it was the only day available.Mary, was his wife and his life. As Richard is walking out of the cemetery saying one last good bye to his wife. All his family and friends have already left.He walks the decorated streets not knowing where he will end up.As the cold wind rushes against his face his cell rings. His sister Kathy again invites her brother to her house for Christmas Eve, a tradition for Mary and Richard, something now he can't bear. He goes by their apartment but can't stay there because of all the memories and the newly decorated tree and grits wrapped around the tree.Richard again ventures out now, as the stores are closing, he only sees a small diner with its lights shinning into the darkness. He walks in and he will never be the same again. What Richard witnesses can only be described as a Christmas Eve miracle.
