This story from Stourport-on-Severn, North Worcestershire is touching our hearts deeply. Samantha Dicken was busy cleaning her eight-year-old daughter Kourtney Wood’s room on November 21, 2020.
Samantha who works as an NHS support worker suddenly was attracted to something and was surprised to see a note which was tucked in the notebook of Kourtney Wood.
In that letter, Kourtney asked Santa’s help to make the world go back to normal.
Deeply moved by her little one’s letter, she was astonished to see her faith in Santa. With a great hope that Santa can make her wish come true, she shared the photo of Santa’s letter on Facebook.
The note reads like this: ‘Dear Santa, all I would like for at Christmas is for the world to go back to normal! ‘I don’t know if you can do that, but if you can’t do that, it is OK. ‘I don’t mind if I have nothing, I do have everything. Well, I have everything I need, thank you.’
This clearly shows how lockdown has deeply affected every sphere of society, especially children.
Samantha said: ‘During the lockdown, Kourtney has been through a mixture of emotions. She has been really up and down with her moods. She hates the restrictions and misses the family as both of my brothers live in Cheshire so we haven’t seen them for a while. She’s also struggled with all the new changes that have taken place at school due to government guidelines.’
The letter made Samantha very emotional and she said: ‘I cried with sadness at how she is feeling due to Covid restrictions but also at how thoughtful and selfless she is.’
More than 15,000 people liked Kourtney’s letter on Social media. Also, hundreds of people commented on the post. Here are a few comments:
Someone wrote: ‘What an absolute credit your little girl is to you.’
Another one commented ‘Oh so beautiful, tears in my eyes, so thoughtful.’
Another comment says, ‘How lovely. What a caring little girl you have. It made me cry!’
These comments show the real pain of that little girl’s heart about the lockdown and how she asked for help from Santa.
