Last night was Madi's Make-A-Wish party. No words can express our gratitude for this organization and I my only hope is that we are in a position to give back.
Madi's favorite restaurant is McCormick and Schmick's. She has made up her own menu item "shrimp shrimp". This is just grilled shrimp mind you, but she LOVES IT!!! Our wish grantors, Karen and Dixie along with Ashlyn, Jason, Tom, Kali (Madi's BFFL) and I all got to celebrate a wonderful dinner with her. We were greeted with a decorated table, a menu with best wishes to Madi that was also signed by the staff and an amazing meal. Madi, Ashlyn and Kali were all given gifts from MAW and Jason and I could not stop crying. we are grateful and humbled. The server was amazing, the manager and chef introduced themselves, it was all priceless. Again, words are not enough. The staff at the Bridgeport Village location is to be commended, they are generous beyond words. THANK YOU is not enough!!!
After dinner we surprised Madi, Fred Meyer Jeweler had created special necklaces for Madi and Ashlyn and had a cake made for her to celebrate. Again, the tears... The Washington Square branch was wonderful to us and we are forever grateful.
We leave on Friday for our Cruise to the Carribian and I cannot express how truly excited we all are. It has been a life changing year for us as a family.
I got the call today to schedule our first post-treatment MRI, July... these visits are our new normal, but we are done with cancer.. DONE~ ( I feel as though if I say this with confidence my positive thinking will be honored). So we celebrate.
Thank you so much to our friends, friends of friends and complete strangers who have carried us this far, we are so, so, so blessed. My girl - She can't stop smiling; that infectious, melt your heart smile that brings joy to those around her.
