" Not needing my wheelchair," Zoe replies. "That would be the best gift ever. " She is smilingstill, this happy kid of mine and in this moment I cant tell if she is content with the understandingthat this is a dream gift, or if she is hopeful and excited , believing that maybe one day this gift couldbe real. But I do hope this miracle happens and she can no longer need a wheelchair. Zoe has always been my Christmas kid. In our home, we celebrate with simple holiday traditionsduring a season that seems to bring sickness too. We collect seasonal blankets, toys and have animpressive collection of holiday DVDs. The season starts with the arrival of our Christmas tree freshcut from North Carolina, and we bake sugar cookies through December as the excitement builds forSanta's visit to our home on Christmas Eve.
