It’s Christmas eve, and that means it’s time to announce the 2009 Giving is Awesome recipient. Thank you everyone who took the time to email me your letter. I was truly inspired by the love and generosity in your letters. My heart goes out to all those families fighting cancer, struggling financially, and those fleeing destructive home lives.
I didn’t anticipate how hard it would be to decide. I had to call in Tim to help me decide, and in the end we chose The Martinez family nominated by Elizabeth Smith. I am very much looking forward to meeting this family, and sharing their portraits with you sometime in the future.
I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. I hope your holiday is filled to the brim with peace and happiness. While I celebrate with my family I will be thinking of the children and parents missing a loved one who they can’t be with on Christmas. May the time pass quickly until you see them again, and may you feel the love of those who you are with right now.
