(I just found this blog post from a couple of weeks ago still in the "drafts." Woops! I apologize to those who were a part of creating the fun that you can finally read about and will try not to show my age so obviously from now on.)
As Michael's 100 days of isolation were ending, mysterious packages, labelled "Do not open until day 100," began arriving from near and far. Several more gifts arrived soon after his big day. It became obvious very quickly that an effort had been made to celebrate Michael's milestone by showering him with gifts in quantities of 100. We were amazed at the generosity and imagination of friends and family.
When all the packages were opened, Michael found 100 (or 100ish) of each of the following: marshmallows, hand-drawn smiley faces, Pringles, Oreos, Reeses' mini peanut butter cups, Hershey's kisses, pieces of beef jerky, different signatures in get well cards, pencils, minutes of the "The Shadow" on cd, baseball cards with 100 pages and collector's book, football cards, football stickers with NFL album, and new, sequential dollar bills. He also received several 100-calorie snack packages, two 100+ piece puzzles, a 100-piece art project, an ice cream cake, a list of "100 Things to Be Thankful For," a "100 Wacky Things" game, and a "100 Random Facts" book. There were even a few gifts of 100 things for the other children.
We find ourselves constantly thanking others for their kindness to Michael and our entire family. It is such an encouragement to us to know that so many care about our little struggles. We truly feel blessed.
