Still, I revel in the joy that can be found in the season. I am easily moved to tears when I hear of random acts of kindness.
One of my little students, Mr. Hero, has leukemia. He has been responding well to treatment and we even anticipate his return to school sometime in January. One of his friends, who also has leukemia, attends a neighboring school and is not doing very well. In fact, the family is preparing to bring her home for her final days.
My loss pales in comparison to what these parents must be feeling.
Still, this little 9 year old girl has hopes and dreams. One of her final wishes is to receive cards from all over the world. I know this is a clichéd wish – but it is what this child wants. If you are in a position to mail a card to this child, please indicate so in a comment or email and I will send the child’s name and address to you.
Remember to treasure your loved ones, today and every day.

Merry Christmas dear Beth. Thanks for the perspective.

I really like your blog. I am a first-time visitor, but I observe every site I submit a comment to. I have a humor blog myself, which I hope to be a top place for people to come and laugh. Life is hard enough and you sometimes need to just sit back and laugh a little.
I'd like to exchange links with you to help spread traffic around to each. Keep up the good work. You can contact me by simply placing a comment on my site.
Happy Holidays!
