Make a Wish

Because of his diagnosis, Logan qualifies for a wish from the Make a Wish foundation. We met a few weeks ago with our Make a Wish volunteers Nancy and Dawn. I am just now posting about it because things were still so much up in the air. We were no closer to deciding upon a wish for Logan than we were before the meeting. If anything, we were more confused. We cannot travel until March at the soonest, so there is no hurry to make a decision.

Logan is obsessed with the Avengers and all things Superhero. He loves sports and cars including the Disney Cars movies. What to do? The initial interview process was several questions while they just tried to get know Logan and his favorites, interests, etc. The more we talked with Nancy and Dawn, we were leaning toward a trip to Disneyland. They have the new Cars attraction there, and we think Logan will love that. They also have plenty for Alexis and the whole family to love. And it would mean a return to California, where Eric and I lived for almost 6 years and where Alexis was born.

Then we started to wonder, would this be special enough for his wish? Is this something we could give our kids? Nancy and Dawn have been great in answering questions and they are investigating if we can incorporate some superhero visits. While it may be the wish of Logan's mom and dad to meet Robert Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, and the whole cast of Avengers, we do not think it would mean as much to Logan as meeting his favorite characters in costume (Bummer for Mom and Dad). And meeting actual famous people is a separate wish from a trip.

Stay tuned, but in the mean time, check out Make a Wish Colorado's site or the national site for details about this wonderful organization that is putting a bright spot in a tough fight for many kids.
