A Gift

Several people have given money to support our family. Friends, family, and strangers have all been extremely generous.

The VMI Mens Soccer community deserves some time in the spotlight.

Richie invited me down to the locker room under the premise of getting my input on some carpentry he wanted done.

Instead, the entire team was there, along with Mr. Mallon, Mr. Rochow, Mr. Barnett, and Mrs. Seinifeld.

The team, and their family and friends gave our family flights to Florida, passes to Disney, and over $5,600. I could talk for days about how much this gift - and all the other gifts - mean to us, but this video says it best:

  1. This is amazing!!!!! I told Amanda the other day that this is proof there are GOOD people in this world, and you have obviously touched so many people's lives that you are receiving that goodness tenfold now. You deserve it. Love you guys.

  2. What a great video, Tony! (and Amanda). Thanks for posting! I know I speak for the VMI soccer family and friends when I say it was our pleasure and honor to be able to do this. Can't wait to see pictures from your trip! :-)

  3. Tony, you'll just have to accept the fact that people actually LIKE you! That's easily explained, but what really beats me is how the Conway men seem to end up with such good looking women! I assumed your Dad had just struck lucky, but there seems to be a definite pattern developing. :-)

  4. While I appreciate the ego boost, I beg to differ. I am the lucky one, have you seen how good looking my husband is?

  7. Where are MY tissues? I'm wiping my nose on my sleeve and the dog just came over to find out what is wrong with me. Enjoy the trip, Tony and Amanda.

  8. Amazing! Not enough tissues in my house now, they are all in a pile on the floor! Just now posting because it took awhile to even know what to say. Wonderful news! Hmmmm, now I guess we need to move on to the next thing on the list, anyone drive a Bugatti?
