Did you ever wish upon a star? Maybe you looked up in the night sky, saw that special twinkle in the night, and wished for something…to be famous, for a new television, to have a talent like none other.
Sometimes our wishes are big (maybe they even qualify for big dreams) and other times they are simple and unassuming.
Children with chronic illnesses struggle in so many ways and there is an organization called “Make a Wish” that helps to grant these children’s wishes.
My “Christian” was referred by a member of our hemophilia treatment center and we are now in our “villa” at the “Give Kids the World” resort in Kissimmee, Florida. It is absolutely unbelievable. Not just the fact that our family is here, but the love that has been shown to us by complete strangers. At this resort, you are treated like kings and queens and for a moment in time, your child is “given the world” and in this case, “the world of Disney.”
Some of these families have never been on this kind of trip and would possibly never have the opportunity to take this kind of trip. You have absolutely no worries about getting from one place to the other, food, entertainment, the whole bit.
Another amazing thing is that is takes over 1,500 volunteer time slots for one week to make the “GKTW” Village run. These people are giving their time to make our family have an experience we will never forget.
Sometimes it’s just too much to accept and let sink in.
