Definitely a tear jerker....
I took on a family in October - the 14 year old has leukemia - she has 7 brothers and sister. They have all brought me so much joy. They are so appreciative of the smallest thing you do for them.
I've been using this experience as a lesson for my two grandsons who pretty much get everything they want from their mom.
My daughter has actually changed her habits this Christmas season...I think we have all learned some valuable lessons in helping others.
