The children's dad had been killed. That Christmas there would have been nothing for the children under their tree, aside from a couple of little presents scraped together by their elementary school teacher.
Luckily, One Special Christmas had the privilege of making their Christmas dreams come true.
Christmas, 2003

Sue and Steve come in, and they are bringing presents. The kids are hopping around, giddy with laughter. Their mom starts to cry. Then, Sue tells the kids to sit down and close their eyes. Quickly, they do.
After maybe a minute, they tell the children they can open their eyes: Steve and Sue are standing with two new bicycles. The kids' eyes get big as saucers and their mouths drop. They are speechless.
Steve says, "I think this one here has (he says the one boy's name) on it!"
The boy bolts upright where he is sitting, eyes bigger than ever. Then it hits him...  "THAT'S ME!" he yells. And he jumps off the seat, runs over and throws his arms around both Sue and Steve. "Oh, thank you!" he yelps. "I love you!"
