Last week Kristen at A Ordinary Life wrote a blog post that demonstrated True Christmas Spirit. This Christmas Spirit that left me speechless for a while, kindness that I have not experienced in my life many times (and I don’t get speechless easily either). And above all – resulted in a Christmas Miracle.
Kristen had read my Christmas Wish this year – I wished we could afford a dog for our family. We live in an apartment and not just adoption fees in most shelters in New York are up to hundreds of dollars, but we also have to pay hundreds of dollars for a pet deposit for the apartment we live in. Kristen wanted to help us to make our family’s Christmas Wish to come true and she was able to collect us all the money for the pet adoption fee, and a little bit for the apartment deposit as well!
There were so many amazing people who helped to make this Christmas Wish to come true, and last weekend I was just bawling most of the time.. I didn’t know how to react, how to say Thank You in a way that really demonstrated how much this meant to me. I was in shock of seeing this kind of support and love coming from my community – it was of course a positive shock, I guess I felt like I was love-attacked, it was so empowering.
Thank you Kristen and all the other amazing people with hearts of gold who made this happen. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You guys showed True Christmas Spirit and I would like to honor some of these amazing people with a “True Christmas Spirit Award”.
