Yesterday Larisa told me that when one of Lily’s little school friends, M, went with her mother to see Santa Claus at the mall, the mother stayed back to let M talk to Santa. She noticed, though, that it was taking a long time and that at the end Santa had tears in his eyes. He motioned the mother over and said that M had told him that the only thing she wanted for Christmas was for her friend, Lily, to get well.

One of the children at school has a father who works for a Christian music company - can’t remember the name of the company. So the parents and children sent Lily a bag of brand new CD’s. I was there when she opened the gift. She looked at the pile of CD’s and then asked Larisa, “How many kids are on this floor?” Larisa replied, “There are 12.” “Good!” Lily answered. “I can give each of them a CD and still have three left over.” Giving something to her fellow floor-mates was her FIRST response to the generous gift.
