When the first real words that a brain injury patient clearly says is your dogs name you know you've had a small part in doing something special.
Much more satisfying than anything under the tree could be.
How can that be better than "anything under the tree"? Lexus has been telling me over and over the last few weeks how EVERYONE wants a BIGGER holiday present under the tree.
Seriously though, good for you. I tried to do my best to make some small positive contributions too, but I can't match yours.
And those Lexus commercials (which always run in duplicate about a minute apart as if to give an "in your face" to anyone who might be struggling this holiday season) are the worst of a sickening breed of marketing and will have me seriously doubting any future purchases of Toyota products.
