I would like to begin with saying thanks to our family and friends for all your support and prayers.

The last ten days have been really special. Christmas began at our house on the 22nd of December. We had more fun watching him open his gifts, as he said, this was the first time that he did not receive clothes for Christmas. He was so excited. As my dad once said, "If you want to know if there is really a Santa Clause, just come to our house". Well daddy, I realized for the first time, just what you meant when you said that. It was the best Christmas that I think we have ever had at our house. One that we will never forget.

Michael, thanks for being such a wonderful son. We love you very much.
