Over the Holidays, I received a letter from Francie Nguyen.

Dec, 2007
Instead of Christmas gifts this year, my daughter, Soleil, had asked everyone to donate to her favorite charities. Please accept these donations on behalf of Soleil Ho.

Thank you,

Along with the letter I found two checks, $25 from Lemoore, CA. and $30 from Rockford, Il.

For all of us out there, year after year, we try to find the real meaning of Christmas. I didn't expect to find mine through a child. For this humbling experience, I'm very grateful.

When I was young, I admired people with wisdom. Now that I'm older, much older, I realized that wisdom means nothing without kindness. Without kindness, we're birds without wings. Kindness is an invisible pill for inner peace. Kindness has no age restriction.

Soliel, I don't know anything about you except for this letter from your mom, but one thing I'm sure of is that this world will be a better place with more kids like you.
