The entire place was filled with friends, smiles, and laughing girls and it was an incredible night...one that will hold a special place in our hearts for a long time!! It was so fun to watch Grace smile, giggle, skip, and talk with her friends as she shared this exciting time in her life with them. It was also so fun to see Grace show her friends the place where she made her wish and explain to her friends (with my help) how that wish came to be. The Make-A-Wish Foundation is an incredible organization and we are so thankful for them and what they did for our family!
So many of Grace's friends have been with her for so many years and so many of them have been there when she has been so sick and it was great that they all came on a rainy night and celebrated with us. It was such a treat to see Grace with her friends in a different light, having so much fun and away from doctors and hospitals! The best way I can describe it is it was pure JOY! I know I have told you so many times before but it is what I love best about Grace. Her ability to find joy in all circumstances. For this particular night, after such a long week of many, many tests and procedures, it was amazing to watch the JOY on her face!
Thank you to:
Claire, Colleen, and Ashley from Make-A-Wish for everything that you did for Grace....Maggiano's for the wonderful food....to the sweet lady who made the delicious pink cake.....Cannon for his photography and videography skills in NYC and for loving his little sister so well...and to all of our sweet family and friends. WE love each and every one of you!
Praise God for the blessings in our life,
Carrie
Pictures to follow soon.....
