Can one family of five, plus two grandparents, combine efforts and commit to one act of service each day, for one year? Paul, Patricia, twins Bianca & Olivia (age 18), Sophia (age 11), and their Nana and Buppa, plan to honor the 10 year anniversary of the loss of my sister with a year dedicated to service. Together, with maybe the help of a relative here or there, we will commit to 365 days of volunteering,contributing or supporting, in appreciation of what we have.... and who we have lost.

Day 280: Glow Golf Gift
For Christmas, Mom and Dad gave us 3 girls tickets to a free round of Glow Golf at the Natick Mall, a recently built indoor mini-golf course (that is indeed, all glow-in-the-dark). They generously gave us 4 tickets, with the intention that Sophia could bring a friend as the 4th person, but as it turned out only us three were able to go. So, we decided to give the 4th ticket to the person at the front desk, and told him that he could give it to the next family as a surprise gift...just playing it forward to whoever happened to come in behind us! The cashier tried to give us a free admission ticket in return, but we insisted that he keep it. Soon into the golfing however we realized that it was not all it was cracked up to be- all 18 holes were crowded into one room and Sophia was the oldest child in the room by a good 7 years at least. As it was, decided to leave Glow Golf after about five holes. On the way out we decided to all give a go on the last hole, and Sophia got a hole in one, meaning she got a prize! How ironic that the prize was one free admission ticket! Knowing that we wouldn't be coming back anytime soon, we ran into the Build-A-Bear store across the street and gave our free ticket to a little boy and his mom. So technically we gave away 2 free admissions! Hopefully we made a couple families happy in the "random act of kindness."
