We have granted a dream....and we aren't even there yet.

Last Saturday Carl and his friend Dustin were spending the night with us. Carl is my nephew and lives with us most of the time. Dustin is his best best friend and will be going with us to WDW in August. It will be his very first trip there.

So anyway, we were watching the trip planning video and I asked him "Dustin, is there anything special you want to do or see? Anything you've heard us talk about or anything?" He says to me "Tia, I'm just excited to be going to Disney. I never dreamed I'd actually be going".

It was so sweet....it brought tears to my eyes.

Thanks for letting me share my feel good story.

Congratulations on sharing the magic, didn't that make you feel great? It is nice to receive once in a while, but giving stays with you forever. What a wonderful thing you are doing, have a magical trip!!!

Awe..that really is sweet. Makes us realize how lucky we are to be people who have the chance to take our kids to a place where many kids only dream of going.

You are a great person for providing a child with this trip of his dreams. And what a great kid to know and appreciate the gift he is getting...most kids would be yes I want this this and this....but not this one. Hope you all have a GREAT time.

When I was younger my mom and dad took us and then surprised one of their friends daughters who had graduated high school. She was from a family of approx. 22 children adopted or foster so she never would have gotten to go.

I was one of those kids who only dreamed of going, and I am so happy to make it a priority to be sure my kids get to go!

Great story OP!
