Thank You Christian, Mickey's Little Helper!!!

[Verandah Man]

I just had to share this little story with everyone.

When I get ready to mail out the postcard requests that I reply to, I send them in a envelope to our fellow DIS'er moinab(Maureen), in Florida. Once she receives them, she mails them back out so that the postcards have a Florida postmark. Maureen shared a story with me a liitle while ago about her son Christian. When an envelope arrives at their house with the postcards, Christian now has to be the one to carry the postcards to the mailbox, he has taken on this job of helping to spread the MAGIC. A few weeks ago, I sent Christian a St. Patty's Day postcard, thanking him for helping with this task. Maureen wrote back and told me that she had a very hard time trying to convinve Christian the postcard was for him. Christian kept telling his mom, that he needed to take his postcard to the mailbox, so that the child is was suppose to go to, would receive it.

So when your children receive their postcards, think of the little boy in Florida who wanted to make sure the postcards got to their final destination.

I shared this story with Shirley this morning, and Shirley said I should share this with all of you. So I would like to publicly thank you Christian, for your WONDERful help, in spreading the MAGIC!!!

I would also like to thank my fellow DIS'ers who have been sending in postcard postage stamps to help keep this project moving forward!!!

Thanks Christian and Andy!
I wondered how you did it and now I know. I will be glad to send you some stamps and postcards when we leave on 5/20. Send me a PM with your address. Thanks so much for sending the postcard to my DGD. She is still carrying it around!

Thanks for sharing that story V.M. I always wondered how you got the FL postmark on these post cards all the way in N.J. I thought you had some kind of "in" with the mouse. Now I see that there are others just as magical as Mickey!! Thanks to Maureen and to Christian for the help with this project! It meant the world to me to see my DGD light up when her postcard came in the mail!! I'll be sending some postcards your way when we return from our trip!!

Thanks again to all of you!!!

Thanks Christian and Andy.
How old is Christian? I love this story. As a child care provider I throughly believe children enjoy giving as much, if not more, than receiving. If they are shown the true benifits of helping others from a young age it will become a part of thier lives forever!

Way to go Christian.

Andy, once again you have put a smile on my face for the day

Thank you, so much, Andy and Shirley! This thread has touched us deeply.

Christian is 3 1/2 years old. He loves doing nice things for others. He's a wonderfully sweet and gentle soul, and we are very proud of him.

The picture Andy posted is from our cruise last summer. Here is a link to one I took this week. Christian and Rhiannon: hats

Again, thanks to all of you. We're happy to just be part of the team.
