The 64 day Challenge: Gift #45 Given on February 18th

by Chris DessiFebruary 19, 2010

Today’s gift is very special.  After everything that our family experienced regarding my father’s misdiagnosis with ALS we were a bit ill prepared for his heart surgery which came only weeks afterward.  Dad’s surgery went very well, however it was certainly a reality check for the whole family.  We were blessed to have world class [...]

Today’s gift was for my daughter Talia. The interesting thing about this gift is that she won’t receive the gift unless it’s totally unequivocally necessary.  Before Talia was born, we received an outpouring of gifts from friends and family who were anxiously awaiting her arrival.  Toys, clothing and every possible baby product showed up on [...]
