Oh my gosh, how cute is she!!! I can't wait to read her letter. I'm so glad she got her card. She's my little pen pal.
!!! I want to say a BIG BIG thank you for putting a smile on Abby's face. Everytime she sees that she has mail, a big smile, a giggle and a big "I DID?" comes out. 
and I look forward to continue to get to know you and for you to get to know our family. I hope that one day I can meet this special lady that has made my daughter feel so special!
, so I explained to them that she has brittle bone disease. They were so nice and asking questions, Abby then went on to tell them she is going to disney and that she was a wish child. They asked me if it was Make A Wish, when I told them yes, they were so happy. They ordered their coffees then turned to me and said what do you want. I said you don't understand, it is 3 of us since my mom was with us. They said it doesn't matter, please let us buy your drinks, you have probably had a crazy year or years and probably many more crazy years, let us do something for you. They bought our drinks, we stood there talking for almost 45 minutes. I thanked them over and over as did Abby and my mom. All they said was "Merry Christmas and have fun at disney." I have no idea who they were
, and it just made my day, as I was having a hard day anyway, since I had to take my Kaila and Tilear to their dads for Christmas
(they will be back Friday morning) but I still hate it when they are gone.
. As I stated in my PTR Abby has always wanted a box of mail, she has asked for one for the past 3 Christmas's, well my Aunt found this out and went to her boss and told him all about Abby and asked if their office could get together to send Abby some mail. He in turn said let me handle it. He went home told his family about Abby, his 7 year old daughter went to her teacher the next day, who in turn went to another teacher and the whole school grades k-5th got involved. On our porch was Abby's box of mail
. I cannot even describe how I felt watching her open this box. Her first reaction was "MOM THIS IS WHAT I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED." This box had over 200 cards and letters in it 
. Here are some pics.
What a touching story of what happened to you guys at Starbucks.
I was in shock and even had tears in my eyes.
Cute pics of Abby in the snow and with her mail. How long is it going to take her to open all that mail?
Gosh she is just such a doll!
Thank you
That is so awesome about the couple at Starbucks and all that wonderful mail! So cool!
Abby is opening about 20 of them a day. It is really cool, because it's like opening Christmas presents everyday leading up until Christmas...
Aw, I look forward to getting to know you and Abby too.. He has never had them for Christmas day and he really doesn't care. He gets them pretty much every other holiday than Christmas.
. She will be opening up cards till spring. Hi!!! I was traveling to NY to visit my family just before the holidays so I just got Abby's card when I came home today. I LOVE it!!! It's my pleasure to bring a smile to her cute face. I'm going to post a pic tomorrow of the Snow White on my fridge so you can show her that I really did put it up.
Sorry you had to drop off the two oldest kids. Since the dad is getting them for Christmas, does this mean you will have them for New Years Eve?
Yes, we must meet up when you come to Disney. My fiancee and I don't live too far from it, so it'll be easy for us.
Wow that was so nice of the couple at Starbucks. It makes me feel good to know there are still soo many nice people still out there in this world. I'm so psyched she got all those letters/cards!! I love that she is opening them up slowly so she can enjoy them all. She is such a cutie. I need to start working on my next letter to her.
I just came across Abby's story, she is a beautiful girl! sounds like she has a wonderful big sister and brother!
Thank you.
seeing her happy face in the snow and opening all her cards is just priceless!!
I have a 10 1/2 yr old DD who could be a pen pal if you'd like...we love Disney very much!
Abby would love to have a pen pal
so happy Abby received her Wish!! it will be such a magical trip for you all!! look forward to hearing more about your plans.
It has been a long time since I have been to Disney, 32 yrs to be exact and the rest of the family has never been. I am struggling in planning. Any tips or advice would be great.
Wish you all a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!!!!
Hi Deena & Abby (make sure Mommy shows you this).
As I promised, here is the pic of Snow White on my fridge. And I used my favorite magnet to hold it up. It's a doughnut magnet I got from Magnetron over in Downtown Disney. It makes me think of the Simpsons. LOL
She was supposed to have a playdate tomorrow with another friend, but she was scared. It was at the same little girls house that accidently broke her thumb, so she said she would rather not go. And the little girl didn't want to come over here, due to last time she did, Abby broke her leg while she was here and the little girl freaked (can't blame her). So instead it's a sleepover with 2 other friends. Oh well, I would rather her be here than somewhere else. . I have my list made of what I need to get and pack. It seems very overwhelming right now
. I can't believe we are finally in the 1 month phase on my ticker. It is so exciting to see 1 month instead of 2 or 3. Time is flying and we are all getting so excited. Abby is talking about it daily as are the other kids. Even Steve is getting excited as he is talking more about it. This child has so many cards to still read, it is very overwhelming to her, but she is enjoying every minute of it. I think so far she has gotten 250-300 cards and they keep on coming.. No so much about losing weight, but trying to get into some kind of shape for the trip. Mostly for me it is the treadmill, the other 2 like the ellipitcal (death machine
) , Kaila and Abby are bored silly and Tilear is afraid of divorcing his x-box for school I for one am ready for them to go back. So is my wallet, fridge and pantry 
Hopefully the normal routine will help make time fly faster
