Today was a very eye-opening day. I had one family that had on blue
t-shirts with a little boys name on them along with blue ribbons. They told me that they were a Make A
Wish family so I sent them down the exit line so that they would be first in
line to meet Pooh, Eeyore, and Tigger.
When they got down to the characters a co-worker of mine asked what the
ribbons stood for. The mom told
her that their one-year old son had terminal brain cancer. I watched as this young boy met all of
the characters. Him and his
families faces lit up with joy and it reminded me why I do this job every
day. No matter who the person is,
the characters can make a person’s day.
They are able to experience magic and meet the characters that they have
seen on tv shows or movies. This
young boy has barely had a life and probably won’t live much longer. I am so glad I had the opportunity of
being a part of a magical moment that he was able to experience at Walt Disney
World, that his family will remember for a lifetime.
