Christmas Wish

I have an exciting story to share. Let me start by telling you that Makayla's teacher has breast cancer for the 2nd time. Makayla absolutely loves her and looks forward to going to school each day. A few weeks ago, Monty, Makayla, Makenzie, and I were on our way home from Fort Worth. We were listening to KLTY in the car and we listened as they granted someone a Christmas wish. Makayla began to ask questions about the Christmas wish. I explained to her that it was for people who are going through hard times. She immediately thought about her teacher. When we got home, I helped her submit an email to the KLTY Christmas Wish program. I know they receive thousands of nominations and never expected to hear anything. Yesterday I checked my cell phone at lunch and had a voicemail from a man that wanted to grant Makayla's Christmas wish. He said that he went to KLTY and read through hundreds of wish requests and he chose Makayla's. We talked on the phone a couple of times and got all of the details worked out. He called the school this morning and spoke to Makayla's teacher and awarded her a $500 gift card. It was very exciting. Makayla was able to go down to the office with her teacher when she took the call. Makayla has to get her picture made with her teacher and the man that granted the Christmas wish. I will post pictures later this weekend. I am so thankful for this man's generosity and his willingness to share his blessings with others.
