Make-A-Wish

We had a fun night last night... Lilly got to go to the Make-A-Wish Foundation and declare her wish! She was so excited to go! It was hard for her to wait until 5:15. :)


We learned that anyone can come here and make a wish in the wishing pond...



But, only special kiddos like Lilly get to make any wish they want. Lilly got to write her wishes down to be sent to the wizards. When they asked her if she knew what she wanted to wish for, she said she did. And then she started to talk about Michalla. She told them about her best friend and how she had cancer too, but that she passed away and that she misses Michalla so much. Lilly said if she could wish for ANYTHING, it would be to have Michalla back. But, she said she knows she can't wish for that right now. Lilly knows she will see Michalla again someday, she's just going to have to wait a little bit. So, what is the next best thing?? DISNEYWORLD! She told the Make-A-Wish granters that she wants to bring a doll of Michalla or something special with us on her trip because Michalla never got to Make-A-Wish. She's such a thoughtful little girl.


Lilly's special key that she got in the mail opened the door to the wishing tower - where she got to send her wish to the wizards. It was so magical! I love how Lilly made sure to include Emery in everything she did. Emery felt just as special as Lilly did last night.





Isn't the star constellation beautiful? Every kid that makes a wish gets to have a "star raising" party! Lilly already told them she wants a PURPLE one! (of course)



Trish and Jeramy are Lilly's wish granters. Jay and Jeramy used to work together a few years ago, so it was special to have him there with us.



We are so grateful that Lilly is getting closer to Long Term Maintenance, where her treatments will be less intense, and we can start trying to be a somewhat "normal" family again. We are excited that Lilly got to make her wish and can't wait for the amazing memories we will make in the 
Happiest Place on Earth!
