Gratitude for our wish trip

We just wanted make a special post to sincerely thank the Make-A-Wish foundation, Give-Kids-the-World and everyone else that made our trip possible.  We were thrilled to find out (from the Make-a-Wish foundation website) that Gracie's wish had been adopted.  We are not entirely sure what that entails as we have never been told who adopted her or what they did in particular.  We probably will never know who it was but we are grateful no matter what.  It just goes to show that there are lots of people that really love Gracie.  So many people have helped Gracie and our family in countless ways, I doubt whether anyone will really know how thankful we are.  It is amazing how wonderful people truly can be.

The following three paragraphs are from the Make-A-Wish website:

Adopt-A-Wish^®

The Adopt-A-Wish program was created to allow professional and community groups a chance to play a significant and very personal role in the wish process. A company, employee group, professional or civic club, or group of friends can adopt a wish. View our current list of pending wishes.

As adopters, you can be as active in the wish as you'd like. You can meet your special wish child. You can see them off at the airport or be part of the team that delivers that computer they've been dreaming about. You can make magic happen in the life of a child who hasn't been feeling very magical lately. You will get to see your dollars at work. You will get to feel the true joy of giving. You will make a dream come true.

It costs an average of $5,000 to grant a magical wish. With your help, we can send Bobby and his family to Disney World, buy Rhonda a home computer, allow Jimmy to meet Michael Jordan, or let Jennifer be a ballerina for a day.
