Ohio Teen Has Unusual Mother's Day Wish

(Westerville, OH) April 23, 2008. In direct contrast to what we normally call teenage behavior, Ohio teen, Christopher Shiveley Welch stands up in support of his mother. He wants to see his mother’s wish for Mother's Day come true.

“All I want is to see my mom’s newest book on the shelf when we walk through the library doors,” states young Welch. “As a young girl, she was recognized as a gifted writer and dreamed her books would be in libraries across the world. I am taking action to help make that dream come true.”

During this age of IPods, video games, and commercialism, this young man’s special wish is one from the heart and is one that he is not satisfied to sit back and dream away. He is determined to help see it come true by taking bold steps.

He learned this determination and spunk early in life, in part from his mother, and in part from overcoming his physical and learning challenges that he came to earth with. Welch has turned his wishful-thinking into deliberate action by contacting his local newspapers and media with the news of his mother’s recently released best selling and award winning book, Son of My Soul – The Adoption of Christopher.

When asked why he is doing this, Welch states, "She writes from her heart and her soul, and that is what makes this book so special. She has always given so much to others. Now I'd like to give her this."

His additional plan is to contact as many libraries as possible with the information needed to purchase the book for placement on their shelves.

To help Christopher achieve his goal, you can contact him through his mother at debrawelch@debrashiveleywelch.net He happily gives interviews.
