A friend just sent this to me…

Pretty Sweet to say the least..

Hi Bob,

We visited our daughter, Louise, and her husband, Adam’s home in Red Deer for Thanksgiving.  They have two sons, Ty (5) and Brody (21/2).  It was a wonderful Thanksgiving!  Our grandson, 5, had big surprise for us!

We were doing some early planning for Christmas.  We talked about giving some money to a charity rather than buying each other gifts.  I mentioned the Mexican Schools Project and Pasitos de Luz.  Louise asked Ty if he would like to help the children in Mexico.  He said “yes”.  He left the table without any prompting and came back with a small coin purse that he dumped on the table.  He had 5 dollar bill and some change.  He took out the quarters and left all the rest for the children in Mexico.  His donation totals $5.90.  I will send a cheque for that amount to the Mexican Schools project.  He said he wanted to keep the quarters ($1.75) so he could take them to school to give to the United Way.  He is in kindergarten.  Ty gave away all his money!  We are so proud of him!!!
