Many Christmas this year is the same for Evan Mahafy's family. There is a Christmas Eve family gathering at his paternal grandfather's house. There, you can make the food that your family died, cooking the food that your family died. The next day, the gift will be exchanged, and the itinerary will be scattered again with the members on both sides of the family.
In that respect, it is not very similar to many other holiday seasons for the family. What makes this year's holiday especially memorable is that it is a comfortable part of what a comfortable part, more Christmas.
A year ago, Evan's father, Jamie Mahafy, was fighting a heart -related problem. Immediately after the vacation, he was on the list of heart transplant that saves his life. This year, the family pays for the trip, praise God in January, and make the most of the time they have.
