Her Christmas Wish by Kathryn Springer (Copyright 2005 by Harlequin Enterprises Limited)

Dear Uncle Eli,

I don’t think Daddy is getting me what I really want for Christmas — a mommy. He’s been sad since Mommy died, and I want him to be happy again. And ever since Leah, my new nanny, came to stay, he’s been smiling more. She’s really nice. She makes cookies with me and takes me to church. I think Leah is perfect for us. I told him he should marry her, but he’s busy with his carpentering stuff. Maybe he’ll listen to you? Tell him my Christmas wish is to have Leah with us, ALWAYS.
