I know that Molly's family will cherish those memories made such a short time ago.
When I heard the news about Molly's homegoing, I was crushed. I am so thankful that Michael was with me. I'm even more thankful that he understands. Several people have asked the question that is probably on many minds... Why? Why do I keep putting myself in this position, volunteering to grant wishes when I know this is going to happen periodically.
The thing is, I DON'T know. None of us do. Even when children are 100% healthy, we are not guaranteed tomorrow. And just because they are sick does not mean that healing won't come. We don't know. So if I can help, in some small way, to bring hope, joy, and strength to a child's life and help make just ONE of their days a bit brighter, it's worth it. You see, I already know the impact of a wish and how much that meant to our family and how much we now look back and cherish that time with him. And that's why I do it. I want to give that gift to other families.
It IS hard to lose those we love. And our time here is so much shorter than we even realize. I want to spend my time loving God and loving others, even when it's hard.
