Make-A-Wish

Becky and Susie from Make-a-Wish came over last night and spent some time getting to know our family. They brought Alison and Abbi a little gift and a game for our whole family. Besides some boring but necessary paperwork, they spent their time getting Alison to dream big. She was hilarious.

I tell ya, Alison is one funny kid. She wished for the coolest and oddest things. Everything from dancing on Broadway to laying on the beach rocking out to AD/DC (her father's influence of course). We learned her favorite stores are Old Navy and Best Buy. And, that she apparently has a thing for Johnny Depp??? Who knew?

What a neat organization. They think of everything. They made Alison feel so special and made her illness seem secondary, when really they make every accommodation we could ever need. They included Abbi and made her a part of it also. After a year of lung infections, hospital visits, needles, surgery, IV's and more doctor's appointments than I ever thought one little girl could have in a year...I am so glad this is happening for her.

We should know about her wish in a couple weeks.

Rock on!

Finally!

Monday night the volunteers from Make-a-Wish are coming over to begin the process to grant my baby girl her wish. She is so excited and has been very thoughtful about this. And, believe it or not, she is having trouble thinking selfishly. We thought that would be easy for her, but its not. She feels very special and thankful that she has this opportunity. Stay tuned for more about what little Al dreams up!
