Every October, Halloween brought magic into Amanda’s home. With three young children who adored every glowing pumpkin and playful decoration, she poured her heart into creating a warm and imaginative holiday atmosphere. This year was no different—the yard sparkled with lights, homemade pumpkins lined the walkway, and laughter filled the house as the family prepared for their annual celebration. It was a tradition built on joy, creativity, and memories that Amanda hoped her children would cherish forever.
But the morning before Halloween, Amanda stepped outside and felt her heart sink. Decorations were torn, pumpkins smashed, and even special items her children had made were ruined. Her little ones stood beside her in confusion and sadness, each trying to understand why someone would destroy something meant to bring happiness. Despite the shock and disappointment, Amanda focused on comforting her children and reassuring them that their spirit and excitement mattered more than any decoration ever could.
