Well, the Diamond State Classic is over and I think the “Heroes” and the girls from around the country really bonded and the feedback on this new program was excellent.

First, I have to tell you about the most amazing experience that I had last night. As you know from recent postings, we are one of the beneficiaries of the Diamond State Classic high school girls basketball tournament.

Merry Christmas 2008! Merry Christmas, Andrew! Please focus on the important things today and cherish each and every moment with your loved ones.

Happy Hanukkah to all of our Jewish friends!

As you know, of course, I usually introduce you to brave young kids and ask you for your prayers. I’ve never asked for so much from so many people in my life.

Back in August, our friend Lynette Grabowski told me of an amazing young lady named Shayla Holwegner.

If you have ever watched youth sports, there are times when some mistake the game for a world championship or some life or death battle.

Chris and I took a drive down to Ocean City, NJ on Saturday to see “Andrew’s Bench” on the boardwalk. As I’ve said before, Andrew LOVED monkeys/gorillas and he was a miniature golf afficionado.

I’d like to talk a little bit tonight about my special little girl (you’ll always be my “little girl”, Ali :) ) When I was bringing her back to campus yesterday morning, she shocked me by saying “Hey Dad, do you want to come to my Criminal Justice class with me?”
