As I have written before, M and I wanted to
celebrate this holiday season. One way we decided to do this was to fulfill the Christmas wishes of a DCFS child. It felt nice to make the Christmas dreams of a child come true as a way of honoring the memory, albeit privately, of the child we lost. So, we were given the wish list of a little boy named Keion. He wanted a skateboard and some GI Joe figures. We are so clueless when it comes to buying stuff, it was pretty funny, but we managed to pull together 3 GI Joe figures, a skateboard, knee, wrist and elbow pads (safety first!), and a Blackhawks sweatshirt.
It was fun to do, and I think it is a tradition we will continue. I hope little Keion enjoys his Christmas.
That's awesome! We always pick an angel from the Salvation Army tree each year and it is always so much fun to go buy gifts for the kids.
ReplyDeleteThat is sooooo sweet. I know Keion will be very happy this Christmas!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet, I bet little Keion has a wonderful Christmas thanks to you and M. Feel good about yourselves!

Wonderful tradition! Merry Christmas to Keion...and to you!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! We used to adopt families at work and we had a list of family members and a few things they liked or wanted. It was so fun to shop for people that would other wise have nothing or very little. It's such a great feeling to help someone out. Good for you guys and I'm sure Keion will have a very Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet! I just love it.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you did that! Keion will be very happy this Christmas!
