As long as I could remember growing up in the 1970's and it seem just about every Christmas Eve before they had children of their own, William and Phyillis Young often visited Phyillis' cousins - the Adams who lived in the community of Collier Heights - Atlanta, Georgia.
As a child reared in Christian beliefs, Jesus Christ was and is always the reason for this Wonderful Season.
But, Santa Claus coming down the chimney, that we never used... when I was a child - and misbehaving; were things I took very seriously.
One Reason; I did not want to get a butt whooping.
Another Reason; I did not want Santa Claus to leave me a Lump of Coal.
Well, guess what? Little did I realize or know, Santa Claus' Helpers were always on time on Christmas Eve and their names were William and Phyillis Young.
These two Beautiful People: one who later retired from Georgia State University - William Young and the other who became a Million Dollar Real Estate Agent - Phyillis Young; had 'Hearts of Gold' (meaning, they were Caring / Sharing People).
William and Phyillis were always, in my professional opinion, Loving and Giving Individuals. God truly blessed them with two Wonderful Children ( James & Tammy ), a Beautiful Daughter-in-Law ( Alison) and four Grandchildren.
One Saturday morning, on December 12th 2015, I believe Phyllis, my Mother & Father, as well as, a Host of Family, Friends, Acquaintance, Angels and Archangels - came beside William's bed to say, " William, get up out of that bed and come with Us." Then, God said, "Well done, my Good and Faithful Servant, let's go Home." And of course, off he went...
Please don't fret and don't be sad, because this is not a bitter story. For I believe, these two Beautiful People are together again watching over their Family, Friends and Love Ones who are still on Earth.
Thank you William & Phyillis for enriching all of our lives and we know that, perhaps, you are gone from the body, but spiritually you will be with Us forever more.
We Love You. This is dedicated to your wonderful memories, we all uniquely have about you, all 'round Christmas time.
