Make A Wish


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.
