I have shared here that my 16yo has Juvenile Arthritis. In fact, May is Arthritis Awareness Month. I just got off the phone with The Dream Factory. It's an organization like Make a Wish, but the kids don't have to be life threatening, but can have chronic illnesses like JIA.
Anyway, they are sending our family to Give Kids The World in Florida to spend a week at the theme parks! She wanted to go somewhere with the whole family and loves Harry Potter (we all do).
I am not sure if I will tell her or wait for her dream manager to come.

Wow, that's so exciting!! I am not sure if I will tell her or wait for her dream manager to come. You must be busting to tell her, I know I would be, but I think I'd wait for the dream manager to come. |

I would def let the Dream Manager break the news, I'm sure that the reactions of the children they surprise is part of the reason they do the job. I won't take that away from them.
Have a wonderful time, enjoy every moment.

We couldn't wait and told her last night. I can never hold a secret. I sat down with her and our youngest and told them we had to watch a video on YouTube. GKTW has a set of pre trip videos that tell about the resort. The first video says "You're scheduled to come..." She asked, "So why are we watching this?" Then changed to, "Did my trip get picked?"
"Finally, something good comes from my arthritis!" was what she said. She's very excited. She is very close to her big brother who is 21 who still lives at home. I told him so he could ask off for the dates for his vacation. He had told his boss about the possibility of the trip when we filled out the application and he was told it would not be a problem. It's been a tough time these past couple of years. The kids deserve a good time together.
