5、” “You have no idea,” she shook her head.“You have no idea what that means to me.”I started loading her basket as the excited girls watched.“Merry Christmas,” I said,“God bless you.” She replied as I nodded and exited the line.I didnt want to go the Walmart that day,but I went.I didnt want to give t
