In the spring of 2002 a terrible thing happened to us. It was the same spring when we had bought our first dream \u00a0house.<\/p>\n

My husband had seen his colleagues being let go and was kind of anticipating the job-cut. With this in mind \u00a0we set out to purchase \u00a0 our house. Then, in April the news was official.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I was a stay at home mum taking care of two kids and my little one had his Obstetric Brachial Plexus Injury.<\/p>\n

We managed with whatever we had. As usual the bills came first and the rest later.<\/p>\n

I was baking everyday trying to cut down on costs. We didn\u2019t eat out or go to the movies. I managed our grocery budget \u00a0extremely well.\u00a0We didn\u2019t eat as well as we would have liked but we always had \u201csomething\u201d to eat. The children\u2019s sustenance \u00a0and needs were taken care of first.<\/p>\n

You see, after life threw us a curve ball by the name of Obstetric Brachial Plexus Injury (OBPI) everything else we encountered was a home run.<\/p>\n

$\"Tree-Home\"$ <\/a>

The tree that chose us<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The 7 feet high majestic Barcana fir tree stands tall in our spacious same old new home, looking life-like with densely clustered green branches, adorned with every Christmas ornament my kids ever made for me, every item having a deep meaning or a story to tell.<\/span><\/p>\n

A story one day I hope to tell my grandchildren.\u00a0Call it what you must … for me it was pure magic.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAn angel so swiftly with a wand spreading joy and belief at the\u00a0right moment to<\/p>\n

a family who\u00a0needed it .\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Merry Christmas to you and yours and, God Bless!<\/h2>\n
