Disney World


"Welcome to Disney World and enjoy your stay!" announced the bus driver. Of course, there is much to see and do, but there is one moment I will never forget.


Today, it still brings tears to my eyes, for many reasons. It's late in the evening and all the lights have been turned off. Infront of me, Cinderella's castle stands tall. A voice echos from the loud speaker. Its Jiminey Cricket welcoming all the guests. Then, IT happens. The most amazing fireworks I had ever seen! The theme: "Wishes" as music accompanies each flight. How perfect. A place so feing and yet, something inside yearns that wish. You know, that wish they sing about, that I can have. The music still plays over in my head. Maybe its because its the first I have looked up in the sky since died and experienced the relief and awe that welcomed me that day. I felt connected, at last. Oe think I know for sure is this moment, this single moment, will stay with me forever.


In memory of my trip to Disney World two years ago!
