The Trio of Trouble waiting for everyone to wake up
The surprise:
As the support staff (Owen's grand parents) were leaving at 11.30pm, they stumbled upon 4
beautifully packaged boxes sprinkled in magic stars containing many gifts on our front verandah. Another sign that the generousity of Santa is truly amazing. I knew that we had been especially good this year, and there, sitting on our verandah was the proof. We were shocked, overwhelmed, bewildered and scratched our heads trying to work out who were the elf's advisors. The boxes sat unopened until the afternoon, when we finally accepted that they were not delivered to the wrong address. There were all types of gifts, all given and accepted with love. Owen took ownership of a toy monkey with a surgeons outfit, and bottle of Champagne was put aside for the celebratory drink in 3 years time
when Owen has gone into remission. We are very lucky to be suppported by a caring community. When Owen questioned his mortality as he is starting to do most nights, I used the gifts as an example that people cared for him and find him inspiring. He understood.............Thank you to all involved....
