This was such a sweet story. Thank you so much. I have to believe my husband and my parents are celebrating Christmas with their family now.
Have a wonderful new Year.

Thank you, Linda. Have a wonderful New Year’s Celebration!
What a sweet story! Thank you for making me smile.
Like one of the other comments said, you do so much for us throughout the year and we all appreciate it. You are an amazing woman, an amazing author.
Hugs and kisses!
Oh Jann, thank you so much. If I’m anything at all – it’s totally depending on God and the friends He’s given me.
The first Christmas without my mother, hurts, but your story is an eye-opener.
What a story! What a reality. This is exactly what happens in so many households. At times I want to just gather people, and say: “listen to what Christmas means, listen to God.”
Your story has challenged me live in a way that speaks volumes for God who came down at Christmas. May His grace continue to flow from you, DiAnn .
Hi Frances, you are the inspiration. Thank you for your kind words and friendship.
The perfect Christmas story. Short and sweet, yet poignant. Thank you, DiAnn.

Hi Julie
You are so welcome. Be blessed, my friend.
I loved the story very much. It brought a tear to my eye because it brings to light that we forget about the love a family during this time of year and what Christmas really means. Thank you for the delightful story line and God Bless!
Thank you, Dawn. So glad you enjoyed the story!
OK, I sense a learning opportunity here. Scan code – with what app? I do have an iPHone and I can scan codes with the WalMart Savings Catcher, but somehow I think that’s not the ticket. 🙂
Dana, use this – https://diannmills.com/pdf-downloads/DollyAnna's_Miracle_by_DiAnn_Mills.pdf That should work fine – but let me know if it doesn’t.
It did work! Thank you so much for the sweet story. 🙂
Thank you for the story and everything else you do for your readers. Always expect an adventure and I am never disappointed! Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to you and yours even though it will be tough without your mother–just remember the good times and it will get easier (4 years for Dad, 3 years for me for Mom and a year for my baby brother).
Hi Shirley, thank you for your kind words. So glad you enjoyed the story.
Thank you for the beautiful story DiAnn. It brings back the real meaning of Christmas.

Hi Patricia, our loved ones are so happy. We can only wait until it’s time to see them again.
Thank you Diann for the lovely story. I wish you a wonderful Christmas full of love, and many memories of special times spent with your mother. This is my third Christmas without my mother and I cherish the memories more each year.
Hi MaryLynn, thank you for your kind words. I find myself thinking, what am I going to get Mom for Christmas. She has the best gift of all – with Jesus.
