You brought tears to my eyes again. I remember reading about it when it happened a few years ago. We had a hard year, Drew had quit his job, and my kids wanted a wii. My parents asked if we were going to get them one. I told them, no we just couldn't afford them. They would each get something we could find and afford. I had stopped shopping many month earlier. And then the miracle of Christmas happened. My mom was at work and someone told her that a certain store had wii's in stock. She called my dad and he left work and found a wii, in a year that they were very hard to find. My parents didn't tell us until Christmas eve, and all I did was cry both Christmas eve and Christmas morning. My children still don't know that my parents had played Santa that year.
