I cant beleave peoples comments on this, if you saw this story it was a very nice story. The family was very nice and they were greatful that they got help and even happyer that they could share it with there neighbors. I thought that the mom was very sweet and I'm happy they got choosen. The reader that is complaining about the gas needs to get over it. We all are having hard times my husband drives 2 hours everyday to and from work and yes gas is high but were just counting our blessings that we have jobs that provides not cruises and diamonds but food on our table and clothes on our familys back. I'm having a VERY Merry Christmas because of that. Yes we could all have alot more than what we do but just be thankful for what you do have. Merry Christmas and God bless all!
