I regret that I did not have this story ready for you for Christmas. Nonetheless, its spirit lives on through every season!

Thank God the kid didn't wish for the whole world to follow her!

I hope they are together just as I have hoped for over 40 years to see see my dad again.

I plan on sticking around and haunting a few people & organizations then I'm going to come back as a dog and doo-doo on everybody else's lawn just for for the hell of it. I might even chase a few cats.

Although the child's wish was made in innocence, this really doesn't qualify as a story with a sweet ending.

Expat, I plan on coming back as a purebred horse with a long life at stud service. That should make up for the lack of action I had as a human. 😉

KDP, if getting kicked in the jaw and bitten by the mare who's just not quite ready is your thing, may your wish be fulfilled. 'Gettin' sum' as a stud is dangerous!
