Here's one Christmas present you won't find just wrapped under the tree.
Ken Stehle, a 50-year-old father from St. Peters, Mo., has been deaf his whole life, meaning he could never hear his 15-year-old daughter Ashley sing — until last Sunday, that is. Ken recently received a new hearing aid that requires him to wear a receiver around his neck and Ashley to wear a special microphone that transmits to the receiver.

With the hearing aid, Ken received the Christmas gift of a lifetime when he heard Ashley's voice, for the first time, during her high school concert.

Ashley surprised her dad by singing "Daddy Please Come Home For Christmas" solo. "It's amazing, I had goose bumps all over me. I'm very proud of my daughter," Ken Stehle told local news station KSDK. Sounds like a Christmas miracle if ever we've heard one. Have something to add to this story? Share it in the comments.
