Opening our mailbox brought thoughts of unselfish service.
A little bit ago, Justin stopped to visit with a man at one of the many airports he frequents. Their visit somehow landed upon the fact that we have a "special needs" daughter that loves to watch "Dora" with our 3 year old. Come to find out, this man happened to be the father of Jeff Degrandis. Jeff is Supervising Producer for "Dora the Explorer."
Well, this kind man told Justin that he would have his son send our girls a little something. We didn't think much more about it until we opened our mailbox to this and another picture just like it.
We were floored! He drew these pictures just for our girls and took the time to write them a personal little note and sign it! His father told Justin that Jeff likes to draw pictures for his fans right there on the spot while they are watching. His colleagues often wonder why he doesn't just sign already made prints. Jeff thinks his fans want the real thing and it means more to them when it was really done for them.
He's right! We were touched that first his father passed on our families story but then that Jeff took the time from his busy life to actually sit down and think about our girls.
I don't know much about Jeff Degrandis but now I know that he's thoughtful enough to share his talent with others amid his busy schedule and put his feet in his fans shoes. It's a life lesson for me!
