MAW dilemma

[Guest guest]

Ok, so we have all of the paper work done for MAW. The problem is,

cannot decide what she wants to wish for. We are definitly not

going to pressure her into making a decision. At first she wanted to

go to the Academy Awards. then she wanted a cruise. Next it was a

home theater and that turned into a lap top. Well tonight it turned

to meeting Emeril Lagasse, the famous chef, and sitting at the table

during his T.V. show. The problem is what happens if she gets a wish

and then later finds someting better and says " oh man, I should

have wished for that " . The problem is that Kaite does not realze how

big the world is. When she picked a cruise that went to Paris ( she

wanted an authentic beret) I asked her " is that what you REALLY

want? " and she was not that thrilled. SO I guess the question I want

to throw out there is " how do you know when the right time is? " She

wants a lap top or home theater, well those are things that we can

give her and she knows this. She gets the opportunity to travel (

she is going to Hawaii in March with my parents)and when she watches

television, it is mostly reruns or cartoons and meeting a " star "

does not appeal to her. She knows this is a once in a lifetime

chance and wants to make sure that she wishes for the right thing.

Don't get me wrong, there is no pressure to pick something. It is

just something we talk about.We are not in any hurry. Can you

imagine trying to come up with the perfect wish? And yes she did say

she wanted to wish for a cure, bless her heart.

I apologize for rambling. I am just curious as to how you all came

to your decisions. Or how others who are in the process are going

about making a decision.

p.s.

my thoughts are out to all of you who have been having a difficult

time this past week. Hang in there!
