What a 13th Birthday!
Alright, Petey turned the big 1-3 this past Friday (18th). That night he went to a local youth group and hung out with some friends. The next night (Saturday) my wife, Heather, and I took him and his twin sister to a fancy Seafood Restaurant.
This may be a common thing for you, but let me tell you a quick story to put it in perspective for you.
One day I was taking a walk with Petey and I was in the process of looking into getting him signed up with Make A Wish Foundation. So I asked him if he could wish for anything what would it be. Guess what he said… a nice restaurant! Seriously, think about that for a second. That’s like the biggest thing he could think of. Now I have him looking at Disney for his wish ; )
Now that you see just how great this was for him, I’ll continue.
We didn’t have an accessible van and there were none available to rent. I was not going to let that stop us! I was even willing to take the bus if we had to. The only other option I could think of was to put him in our car and use a manual chair (which barely fit in our trunk and is also not very good for him to be in for longer periods of time). I talked to Petey and he said that that would be fine.
Okay, we get to the restaurant and as usual it was at least an hour wait. It was crowded and uncomfortable so we took our chance at leaving and coming back. Another simple pleasure of Petey’s is going through the automatic car wash. It was closed so I had to do the next best thing… wash it manually.
By the time we got back to the restaurant we only had to wait about 15 minutes (he was entertained by the live lobsters). We sat down and started looking through the menu. They were heaven. Petey wanted crabs, but not just any crabs… no he wanted “Alaskan KING crab legs”. His sister ordered the shrimp feast.
As may know Petey’s arms are getting weak. I didn’t even get to eat my dinner because I was busy cracking the shells and loading him up with meat. It was so worth it!!!
Yeah I’m sure your tired of hearing from me so enjoy the pictures. Oh yeah we also went out for ice cream afterwards (like my wife always says “there’s always room for dessert”).
Hi Petey,
I wanted to take a moment and wish you “HAPPY BIRTHDAY“. I hope you had a great time.
All the best,
Harry
Thanks Harry!
Obviously we had an awesome time.

Petey and his family is so blessed to have you and Heather in their lives! Looks like Petey had a glorious birthday, regardless of not reaching your van goal. The smiles are priceless!
The website and package you put together was AWESOME! I just know something will work out with the money you raised. Bet there is a used van just sitting there waiting to be of service to Petey.
LOVE
Deb
Hi Deb!
Thank you so much for the kind words of encouragement!
Yeah we’re the kind that don’t let our circumstances dictate our happiness. We’ll make the best of it.
I wish more people would have taken advantage of the deal we put forward. Not for our sake but for theirs. We had some great marketers put forth some great products. I even bought the package myself (and no the money doesn’t just go to me).
Thanks again!
Jason
PS - We are working on the schedule for the teleseminar series. It’s going to be awesome!
Petey,
Happy late birthday! Wishing you nothing, but the best! God Bless you.

I sincerely hope your every wish came true Petey on April 18th when you celebrated your 13th Birthday. I passed up on the offer of the extra download page, did you get the Ad Genetator
product.I wrote to the Author and asked if he would transfer my rights to you. My return mail address has now changed but if you read it slowly, you will realize I am back to give my support for next year, and the next……! I must write back to General Motors & Chrysler and thank them for their involvement.
