The Gift of Life

04/23/2008

I just finished a book called "The Gift of Life", by Henri Landwirth. http://www.jacksonville.com/tu-online/stories/041700/dsf_2788738.html

Henri was a Jewish immigrant, and Holocaust survivor. He created the Give Kids the World Village for Children who are terminally ill or battling a life threatening illness like Jessie. Give Kids the World is where we stayed two weeks ago on Jessie's Wish trip. http://www.gktw.org/ It is an amazing place for kids.

But what it is for kids, is superseded by what it is for an example to the world in human kindness. You won't regret reading this book. I think that the only place that you can find it is at the GKTW Online Gift Shop.

Or, I would be happy to loan you my copy, under one condition, that you pass it on to someone else to read when you are finished. :-)

Thanks for reading, and thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers for Jessie. It means the world to us to know that so many people care about Jessie.

God Bless You All. Cris
