Let the Fun Begin

Today marks the first day of our "Disney World Make A Wish Vacation". Judah was granted one wish from the Make A Wish Foundation - anything he could dream of to do, to go or to meet. So like any nine year old boy he wished to go to Disney World.

However, Make A Wish have gone over the top in planning and preparation. The wish granters and administrative staff have been incredible. Is there nothing they haven't thought of? They are so friendly. And have sparked such excitement for this trip that it's hard not to just accept them as friends and family.

From months ago Stephanie would bring little gifts for Judah, she would visit us at our hospital appointments. The ultimate dream vacation preparation move was when she brought printed pictures and descriptions of each "land" at Disney World.

That's when the count down began. Keilah carefully kept track of how many days we had till departure and kept the vision alive by downloading the Disney Magic app on our iPods!

And today's the day. The day we are materially awarded for all the hard work last year. The day we get to escape to the land if fantasy for a week and put all that "chemo stuff" behind us.

Today we thank God that today came. God bless all those who are still fighting, you do not fight alone.
