Christmas of 2012 Santa brought Molly a new toy.
A stuffed unicorn in a purse that said “Sparkle”. Of course, Sparkle became her name.
Sparkle spent all of 2013 well-loved and adored. She was so much Molly’s favorite toy that by October she was looking pretty tired.
Her sparkly horn no longer sparkled, the gold of her hooves was stripping away & one hoof needed full replacement.
The bright white fur had become dingy, and the flowers on her side faded.
Sparkle had seen better days.
So a letter was written.
Asking if Sparkle might be repaired.
With the silly addendum that maybe he could make her colorful.
For two months Molly waited.
Once in a while you’d hear mention of how Santa would be returning Sparkle.
Just before Christmas, a few snags erupted, and Santa alerted me the “repairs” were in jeopardy.
But, at the last minute, he pulled through.
And for the second year in a row the best toy ever was Sparkle.
The favorite gift of the year, and continuing daily, was an ‘old’ new toy.
Sparkle is sparkling again…and so is Molly.
