Mome reads Mommy, My daughter's way to spell it when she was younger... It stuck. My son calls me Mome... just like it looks. I now sign all my notes to them "Love, Mome". It's our inside secret and makes them smile. I always want them to smile.

Christmas Cards Please

If you're on Facebook, you've probably seen the requests from a little boy for Christmas cards...this week. Noah Biorkman was diagnosed with Neoroblastoma in 2007 at the age of three. His parents want him to be able to live out his last days as he should, as a little boy...excited about Christmas. Noah and his family have requested Christmas wishes in the form of cards and have already received an overwhelming amount of cards and gifts. They will be celebrating Christmas this week,

This little boy has been through so much and to be able to make him smile and show support to this family, who's hearts must be breaking, is the least we all can do.

Here's a link to a news report on this story of Noah Biorkman.

Cards may be sent to:

Noah Biorkman
1141 Fountain View Circle
South Lyon, MI, 48178


Santa will also be joining Noah this weekend courtesy of the South Lyon Fire Department.

I've found this to be the perfect opportunity to once again explain to my children how fortunate we are. They watched the video of Noah and immediately sat down to make a card. This is not just me talking. They saw and connected with this sweet little boy. Their hearts were opened and their generous spirits shined through. This will be a Christmas to remember. A beginning of new traditions that go beyond ourselves and our own home.

Thank You Noah for allowing us to share this Christmas with you.

  1. Wow, this has been on line for a long time. I remember seeing these several years ago. Please understand, I'm not being hard nosed; but I thought, this was a hoax. I wish I could remember the details; but right now can't.
    You might want to check out shareacard.org This group is well organized and has sent cards to those in need for many years. They support usually about 2 dozen at a time.

    I thought the very same thing. The first thing I did when I saw it going around Facebook was to check it out on Snopes.com. It came back TRUE. The video link is from a Detroit New station. If this one is fake there are a lot of people in on it.

    I just don't understand why people send out hoaxes, it makes us leary to believe in the true stories. If you find out otherwise on this one PLEASE let me know.
