Her Wishes

Charlene would always wonder if she could ever give a better life to her children. They had been living in utter poverty since her husband left her. Even though she was doing more than enough to provide her kids with all the necessary things, she still felt bad.

A Big Change

But as they say, time keeps changing. Landreth family too was going to undergo a drastic change. Scotty had never imagined that one of his daily habits was going to bring a tremendous change in his and his family’s life.

Still A Kid

Even though he had taken up all the responsibilities he still was a kid from inside. Sometimes, he too would want to leave everything behind and go out and do fun. However, he did not have many friends. The boy would spend most of his time alone.   

Headed Home

The boy was running late. He had to reach home as soon as possible. So he picked up the newspapers hastily and rushed home. The night was full of bone-chilling winds. Sadly, the boy had not worn enough clothes. The chances were high that he would catch a cold. 

Rush Hours

He held the bundle of newspapers on the side of his arms and started running towards his home. The snow-covered roads were slippery that made his speed slow. The boy for the first time realized how beautiful his city is. The snow-clad trees looked beautiful at night.

Woodstove

This one wood stove served all the purpose. They would use it for cooking the vegetables they grew in their backyard to cook hunted animals in the Appalachian hills. Not only that they would also use it to keep the house warm at night.
