A dream is a wish your heart makes...

I am getting really excited about Skylar’s list. I am happy that she will get to experience these things and I will get to be there every step of the way. Some of these things she would never get to experience but I want her to experience everything she can. There are little things that you never think about your child missing out on or you missing out on your child getting to experience those things. For example, Skylar would never be invited over to a slumber party with friends. She is loved by many kids but lets face it it’s harder on the parent to have to give Skylar medications, start her feeding pump, and do everything that she requires at night. However, if it can be done it will be done.

Some of these things will take place over the next few months and I am ecstatic. She will throwing out the first pitch at the Travelers game on April 21^st. It’s a tentative date but they do not foresee any reasons it would need to be changed. With that being said, we’d love anyone and everyone to come out.

She will also be throwing a party and inviting all of her family and friends. We will celebrate Skylar on February 15^th. God will have given me 8 amazing years with her and we have a lot to celebrate.

She might also be joining a sorority soon as well. Skylar might officially be a member of Chi Omega. They are a wonderful group of girls that I met while I was volunteering with Make-A-Wish. They raise money to grant wishes and they were doing a wish reveal for a little girl. A few of the girls had brothers and sisters that had wishes granted and so this meant a lot to them. If Skylar could ever join a sorority I would want her to be part of a group of girls that get joy out of helping others and who make Make-A-Wish their national philanthropy.

I was watching Cinderella with Skylar and this has to be a favorite song of mine. I like to think that Skylar dreams of things and I am here to see that those dreams come true.  

A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep

Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling thru
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true
