When Steve Dane’s daughter, Taylor, climbed up into Santa’s lap recently at Bass Pro Shops, she didn’t ask for presents. In fact, she didn’t ask for anything herself at all. Instead, she had a very selfless request.
“Taylor surprised us by telling Santa that all she wanted for Christmas was for Ashley Freihoff (her cousin) to be healed of leukemia,” Steve told Love What Matters.
“Wow,” he added, “what a tear jerker to hear your daughter break down to the one she believes can do anything.”
The tears didn’t stop there. After Taylor’s request, Santa proceeded to do something incredible. Something big. Something eternal.
“This man stops all the commotion and tells her he even as Santa does not have the power to heal but knows someone who can. Then Santa bowed his head and prayed with my daughter for her cousin,” Steve explained.
Watch it unfold below:
"This is my daughter, Taylor, who surprised us by telling Santa that all she wanted for Christmas was for Ashley Freihoff (her cousin) to be healed of leukemia. Wow, what a tear jerker to hear your daughter break down to the one she believes can do anything. Santa then did something that was more amazing than what my daughter did… He has a hundred kids in line and I’m sure he has had kids all day begging for the toys they want him to bring. This man stops all the commotion and tells her he even as Santa does not have the power to heal but knows someone who can. Then Santa bowed his head and prayed with my daughter for her cousin. I am a big tough guy, but there I stood in my favorite store Bass Pro Shops, crying like a baby. Thank you, Santa, for showing my family and everyone there what Christmas is really about. I hope this amazing man sees this post and knows how much he touched my family tonight."For our best love stories, subscribe to our free email newsletter: http://bit.ly/29l733Q#LoveWhatMattersSubmitted by Steve Dane
