Basil's Sweet Look. In order to build a closer relationship with my second, Basil, Santa left some money for Basil to take his father, me, out for lunch, Followed by a shopping time for Basil to choose a special gift. The trip started with a lunch at an Olive Garden Restaurant. We consumed wonderful Italian cuisine, And at the end, Basil pulled out his gift from Santa, Held the bills and looked sheepishly at me. Such a sweet look he flashed in my direction-- My heart ached with a joyful feeling; Just for a moment, but one to remember forever. Frank Maurer 21 January 2023 1735 Hours.
