Angels On The Roof

By Houston Louison

It was a Christmas to remember. Each evening leading up to the big day, a living, breathing, nativity display drew the community to the music, the baby in a manger, and angels above the little church's front lawn. This true story of love and hope features the lives of two youngsters in the cast. One would become a courageous mom, who describes in her own words, the steady decline of her everyday abilities and those precious memories. This quiet angel has a bold message for you. She wanted you to know some things, like worry, are better forgotten.

And just overhead, the brightest star possible framed by floating angels blowing horns, strumming harps and singing the original carols of the season. Some may celebrate the season differently, but most would welcome the same spirit of joy and harmony throughout the year.

Traffic barriers with flashing yellow beacons lined the shrubbery along drowsy Yukon Ave. And at first glance it seemed to be preparation for a parade of some kind.

There, seated behind a large picture window, was a handsome father reading stories to his two toddlers in their pajamas. He was a snappy dresser, and beside his stylish wingback chair was a crackling fireplace. The little boy says, Hey Pop, how about another story?
