Wish

     I have often written about our daughter's struggles with epilepsy and Nonverbal Learning Disorder; there has been a lot to say in that regard. Seizures, bullies, dashed dreams, cruises not taken....it's been covered. I have also written about the wonderful people we have met as a result of our daughter's unique journey. There has been turmoil yes, but also much kindness.
     One of the truly kind and unselfish things done for our eldest daughter has been her nomination to be granted a wish by the Children's Wish Foundation of Canada. One of her Special Olympic coaches has put our daughter's name forward for her fondest wish to be granted and amazingly, she was chosen!
     When this amazing woman heard how our daughter and her father were left behind by the cruise company last year and then was witness to her seizure that caused multiple injuries earlier this year, she did this uncommonly generous and considerate thing. How do you thank someone for such a gracious and loving gesture? That it would occur to her to do this wonderful thing in the midst of the busyness of life, not to mention the visits and gifts for our daughter to cheer her at the hospital and at home...It's astonishing to me!
     This beautiful wish-granting has lifted us all up and it is proof that angels are present in this world....Thank you Coach Susan!
