March 3: Regan’s Acts of Kindness

Regan’s parents are friends of ours from our days when we all lived in the same area in Upstate NY. They were so good to our young son and we knew when they married and had children, they would be excellent parents.

And we were right.

Tragically, Regan lost her life January 4, 2017 in her nursery school parking lot, while her father was holding her hand and they were in between two parked cars. She was three years old and left behind her parents, her big brother Gavin,grandparents, and many more family members and friends.

Regan’s birthday is March 3. Regan’s parents have asked that we all perform an act of kindness on March 3, and I’m issuing that challenge to you. It doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated, just kind. If you can, please like the page and post a picture of your act on Regan’s Acts of Kindness Facebook page.

I encourage you to learn more about Regan and her family’s plan to honor and always remember her. They have an online store with “Choose Kindness” shirts, and are raising funds for an interactive story corner in DeWitt, New York called “Regan’s Reading Garden.” This project will encourage literacy and imaginative play, and costs between $200,000-$300,000. Their “kindness rocks” have included all ages, with a global impact.

If you’re not familiar with my books, since 2017 all of my books include a page about Regan. In Restoring Christmas, a news reporter was named after her.

Please spread the word along with your kind deed on March 3!
