Ry's Rising Star Party...

After a wish is granted by Make a Wish they have a party for the child who had their wish granted. Last night we went to Rykert's party. I am loving seeing how grown up my little Ry is becoming.
Once getting there we went into the auditorium where they showed us a short video all about Make a Wish... We were then given a tour of the facility.

 After our tour we went back to the the auditorium for refreshments and so that Ry could decorate his star for his big moment. Refreshments were some of Ry's favorite things. We had a cake, a bunch of gummy things (bears, worms, sharks), fruit tray and vegetable trays.

 Now comes time for Ry's big moment.... I tried to video tape it but it ended up not recording... 

Rykert's Parade

My nephew Rykert was diagnosed last summer with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. This has been something that has been hard on my family... I have always considered him my little miracle because he has really helped me. He was born 22 May 2006 and my dad passed away on 1 July 2006 and I got divorced 28 August 2006. Spending time with him has really helped me get over the crap that has happened in my life. For him I am extremely grateful! A few months ago my brother got the idea to submit Ry's name to Make a Wish... On Feb 28th his wish was granted. When they grant a wish they make a HUGE deal out of it. They had a fire truck come into his street... They picked him up and let him ride in the truck, sound the siren, and play with the hose and spray the water...Thank you so much for making Ry's wish come true!

Just in case you couldn't tell... His wish was to go to Disney World to ride on the roller coasters...
