A couple shots from yesterday. He made a wish before we left and as we sat in the beautiful lobby he told me what he wished for. “I wished for no cancer. It’s so generic. I’ve done it with every wish. It never comes true.” And he stopped talking and I didn’t know what to say back. I did my best planning and networking with our new Disney friends/family to make sure that everything was amazing. Our buddy Mark made sure to give his all to make the pixie dust rain on us and he more than delivered. It was epic. Adler even said it was. Overwhelmed with emotion and generosity I cried a few times. The people that gave time and love to us….wow….just wow! But I can’t grant that one wish. I can’t make that on thing happen and this morning over breakfast we chatted. Back in Chicago at the condo with no doctors or hospitals to go to. We talked about the trip and he said very truthfully that he never stopped thinking about cancer. That his pain was daily and he just toughed it out for the sake of the trip and that it never goes away, ever. His pain is constantly there. Which I mean, we know but still, to hear him say it……It never leaves his mind, even at Disney and that broke my heart. Though we did all collectively agree it was a more than needed break. A fairy tale time away from reality and we can’t wait for next time whenever that may be. Even with pain and cancer, it is and will always be, our happiest place!!! 💓
