A Princess's Wish is Granted

In March Raylee made a wish at The Wishing Place. Her wish was to meet Jessie from Toy Story at Disney World. Well today we met Raylee's wish granters, Natasha and Matt, at Planet Play and they told Raylee her wish was granted. They gave her a giant certificate stating, "We hereby announce that Raylee's wish to Disney World will be granted by Make-A-Wish." They also gave her a Rapunzel princess dress and princess dress up shoes to wear to Disney World. Planet Play gave us a day to be their VIPs and play archade games and the other attractions there. We spent 4 hours playing game after game! It was a lot of fun, especially to see the girls just enjoy themselves. Jorja was super excited, she won a giant stuffed animal Madagascar penguin from the giant claw machine at her first try of playing the game! We are excited to go to Disney World and spend time in Florida. The generosity of Make-A-Wish, Planet Play, and the place we are going to stay in Florida called, Give Kids the World, is overwhelming, it is hard to comprehend, and hard to accept. I am very grateful for these things; it has opened my eyes even wider about how people can make a positive difference in another person's life, how I can be a better contributor and supportor of uplifting organizations and promote them, how I can be a volunteer and strive to make a difference in someone else's recovery and healing. It really seems as if this trip to Disney World will be the much needed peak in our healing as a family.
