As we stood there recreating this picture, I cried. Looking at Cinderella’s castle holding Adler’s hand and knowing he was in pain, his legs weak and shaking when he stood. Knowing why we were taking the picture. Knowing what it means to us. Knowing we are waiting for what’s next for him. It’s just a lil different this time. It feels different even. Yes there’s masks and social distancing and “less people” but it just feels different. Still our happy place. Still so much joy. But cancer has tainted so much. It’s diluted life in a way that makes things just a little less than. Sometimes a lot. And it hit me right there. Right then. I held it back as much as I could because we had a photographer with us for about 45 minutes and I didn’t want to fall apart so we could finish the pictures. But man this stuff, all this cancer stuff, it’s just not easy for lack of a more poetic way to put it. So much has happened since the first picture two years ago. So much. But look how he’s grown!!!! Look at our son. The warrior he is. Truly. He is. My goodness.

It’s really the people that make Disney so special!! And here are some very special ones we met yesterday because of Mark, our dear friend whom we met two years ago at Hollywood Studios. He was the head of security there and had now moved over to Disney Springs but we hope to see him again while we are here. We’ve kept in touch and he was ALL over it when we told him we were coming and why. Immediately he began Operation Adler to help make it all extra special. He’s made SO many things happen for us and we are eternally grateful and thankful. The pixie dust, came from him. All the fun we had was so kindly given to us and beyond appreciated.
