As you may have guessed, my boss Mark Evans is a big supporter of the Children’s Hospital but his generosity does not end there. He also arranged a special gift for Hayden – a Wayne Gretzky autographed Oiler’s jersey. I sensed that my son did not fully appreciate the magnitude of this gift when he responded, “Cool. What’s your dogs’ names?” He did, however, notice everyone’s jaws drop when he showed it off at home….I think he gets it now. Mark recently had a run-in with cancer so he and Hayden are kindred spirits.
And while we’re talking about great gifts, here’s a picture of Bob presenting Hayden with a very cool bike. It’s actually double cool – the first reason is obvious, it is one sweet ride; the second reason is because it once belonged to Cody and he’s a cool kid. It’s too much bike for H right now, but he loves to sit on it in the garage.
It sounds funny to say that Hayden is a lucky kid but so many people go out of their way to make him feel that way…he thinks he is. And after everything he’s been through (not to mention struggles yet to come), good for him.
