If there is one tradition I could leave my son it would be kindness. Keeping this tradition on a daily basis is obviously the goal, but every year at Christmas time we deliberately do something for others. The idea is that it is significant, requires planning, preparation and most importantly joyous execution.
This year we handed out 100+ dinners, carried them throughout Philadelphia and handed them out to people in need. Edward needed food and we had some, he also got a wave goodby from my son and some Insomnia cookies and milk. I wish I could do more, I wish we all could do more. But at the end of the day Edward said "God Bless" and when it boils down to it thats what we all need.
