It's funny... the things you find in the rain

I've lost you
Amid the hustle and bustle
That was once filled with family and the awe of Santa.
Now, you ask where we're going and why.
"Who's gift is this? What do I do with it?"
And, I try not to cry as we continue to spend your money so there will be gifts under the tree.
If you remember to put one up.
It's painful.
And, then you wink. A shadow of what used to be...
Add the click of your mouth, your pat on the back and the words, "old girl" and you'd be the gem you once were.
Now, we wonder if you'll even get home.
