‘Uncle Dirk' Visits Dallas Children's Hospital

He arrives at Children’s Medical Center Dallas wearing a silly felt hat, like Santa’s, except this one is blue and sports a Mavericks logo.

He slipped into the hospital, as he’s done for a decade now, with a jolly disposition and enough Christmas presents to fill a large rolling bin. He will introduce himself as a kind-of relative to many of the 19 all-too-young patients he will visit, individually, during the next four hours — a famous, yet endearingly unpretentious one every kid wishes they could have.

Uncle Dirk.
