Here we are getting ready to raise His star.
With a little bit of team work, cooperation and family
unity......we raised it to the top! Where it will forever stay.
What touched me the most is the fact that the kids who make wishes are usually terminally
ill. Which means they have either passes on, are still living... hanging on dealing with something most likely, or made it through and are doing fine. But really, most of those stars probably represent some child who is no longer living any more. It really makes you stop and think for a second. So here we are trying to live in the moment and yet we realize that McKay will not always be with us. We understand that. When? we have no clue. I know that at sometime or another we all will pass on, but with him - it's just a little different. It is something I think about daily. I wonder how and when and why..... but I'm not going to think about that right now. For now we are just going to soak this all in and enjoy every minute of it. In 8 days we will be off! We are going to have the time of our lives!! We are going to squeeze in as much fun as we possibly can. This was such a fun night!!! Thanks to all you family and friends that came to share this with us. We love you all so much!
