Starlight wish - Anyone else feel like this?

[ReindeerBollocks]

DS had a call today that his wish has been granted. Since I told him he has been grinning from ear to ear and is very excited about next week (when wish will happen).

Now I know that this is an amazing charity and we are so grateful to them for making this happen for DS.

However, I can't stop crying, and I'm not entirely sure why. I think that maybe we just deal with DS and the medical stuff without too much thought and I wouldn't define him as an 'ill' child, but the wish makes us realise that he has been through a lot and will go through more in the future. He has has a rough time and the wish is a brilliant thing for him. Deep down I am very pleased for DS and he definitely deserves it.

Has anyone else gotten upset over an amazing wish? I feel really stupid, but can't seem to stop getting upset (in private away from DS).

Thats great news, your ds will be made up .

It's probably just some kind of release mechanism for you, like staying strong when things are really rough, and breaking down when someone gives you a hug.

I'm sure DS will love every minute - take lots of tissues and loads of photos!

Yeh my dd had a wish granted by the make a wish foundation.When i was putting the wish together for her i was so excited and they really went overboard and were so kind.But when the wish was granted i was really happy on one hand but i also cried .I think it is like a realisation of just how much she and us go through.Am sure sure like us you will have a fantastic time

Well I've had a couple of days to get used to the idea and I'm over the moon for him. He is so excited now.

I think I get used to all the medical issues and it's only when something like this comes along it makes me realise that he is technically 'ill'. But I was just begin daft, and am over it now.

Anyway we have to prepare for his wish - thank you Starlight!!

Hope your DS enjoys his wish .

Yay. I ran 5k for Starlight in October just before we started finding out about DS's issues so I am so pleased to see that they go to people who really need them!! What's the wish??

Wow! thats great :) Hope he has the best day ever as I am sure he will :)

Aw thanks ben10, DS was nominated for his wish by the hospital staff (they choose one child a year).

We are going to the set of Dr Who whilst they film series 6. Hoping to meet cast too, but no guarantees. DS is very excited and won't stop going on about it we've been told not to talk about anything we see either - very intriguing.

Wish David Tennant was still the doctor as I LOVE that man, but hey ho, DS is rather liking the new doctor so he won't complain either way.

Growlybear - glad your DD enjoyed her wish, and that I wasn't the only mum to get upset at a good deed.

If he loves Dr Who, then that sounds fantastic! Enjoy.....shame about David though!
