I got a call a while ago from my youngest daughter Maggie, who is a Senior in Special Ed at Muskingum College here in Ohio, apologizing that she won't be able to wrap gifts for me tomorrow. She is a Dean's list student, also tutoring 2 young boys, & working part time at Applebee's restaurant & also American Eagle. Seems that a single Mom Mags works with at Applebees was crying tonight as her teenage daughter admires clothing from Abercrombe & Fitch & also American Eagle but knows Mom can't afford them. That little DOLL of mine is meeting this gal tomorrow & extending her SIGNIFICANT discount at American Eagle to her so that young lady can get surprised on Christmas. I am so proud I could BURST!
...Yes, Virginia, there IS a Santa Claus....her name is Maggie Flanagan!
With kids like her, I have been blessed with the greatest gift a man could want.
Sorry for the long post, but I just HAD to post this!
Mike
ps: Guess I'll have to wrap, the gifts won't look as good, but what the hey.
