Love Letters from Mom - Gina W (Missouri) Feb 9, 2012

_Dear David and Amy,
One of my fondest memories with you was Christmas many years ago.

Our family adopted a family for Christmas.  It was so much fun taking you to Wal-mart to shop for the other family.  Both of you really got into picking out special gifts for the family's 2 children. Without even knowing the children, you were selecting items they would really ‘want’, not just ‘need’.  We got some practical gifts, as well as just some for fun! The stocking stuffers were the most fun...and you both were very generous. 

Amy, I remember you kept saying, "Let’s get just one more gift!"  "I can give up one of my own gifts, because I already have so much anyway...and these kids don’t have anything!"  It was such a joy to see you really wanting to give to another child, knowing you would never get anything in return from them...only the blessings from the Lord!

I am so glad that even now that you are married, you both adopt a family at Christmas.  You have both made me very proud!!

Love,
Mom
