A volunteer team will be coming out to meet Gracie and interview our family in a few weeks...
they will then put together her wish plan! |
It is official... Gracie is getting a wish from Make-A-Wish! It is amazing... we are so grateful. I actually cried when we got the call yesterday. It is such a mix of emotions... you never want your child to be eligible for something like this. But, at the same time, you want them to be able to have something so wonderful given all they've endured. She was actually nominated for a wish several years ago, but she was so unstable medically and the time just wasn't right. Now she is in a better place to be able to enjoy her wish. I also had so many reservations about accepting a wish when there are so many other families out there who have a child who also deserves a wish and we have the means to do many things with Gracie. Thankfully, the Make-A-Wish organization helped me realize that this isn't about what we can provide for her. It is about something wonderful being done for her - - that there shouldn't be a stigma or guilt for accepting it - - and that because she gets a wish doesn't mean that someone else won't. Every child who meets the wish criteria gets a wish. What a wonderful organization!!!

I completed this on Gracie's behalf for her wish volunteers.
I hope this, along with the slideshow I prepared, gives them an accurate picture of all things our sweet girl loves! |
