I'm gonna put it posted from airy murkwood this happened a long time ago I was helping a girl who had terminal cancer with her final preparations and wishes she had requested to go in a cruise with her family and the maker wish program was happy to help her she was really sweet and we soon

formed a friendship the day that she was about to formally request her wish she looked really sad and didn't want to talk to anyone I visited her and asked what's wrong but she wouldn't tell me it broke my heart to see her tearing up

thankfully after some time she told me that she didn't want to cruise she hated the idea of a cruise she wanted to meet her dream celebrity like she had seen these other kids do I told her no problem we can get you in touch with that

celebrity but she said not to because her mother had screamed at her when she first said that she wanted to meet a celebrity her mother told her to forget about her final wish and ask for a cruise for the entire family

because that's something the entire family could do and it's something the mother wanted since she was a kid I was speechless and furious even now I can't understand why a mother would get in the way of her daughter's final wish

it took me a while but I calmed her down and told her that it was her wish not her mother's and that I wanted her to be truly happy

she told me that she always did what her mother asked and the idea of doing something that she wanted was foreign to her but she smiled the biggest smile that I had ever seen on her and she hugged me and said that she would speak to her mother about going to see that celebrity

sadly I had to leave for the day but I was happy that I was able to convince her unfortunately the talk with her mom did not go well and the kid ended up requesting a cruise

the last time I spoke to the girl she told me that she tried to request a celebrity visit but she didn't want to make her family sad but that she wished so hard that she could meet the celebrity instead I told her that you'll meet him someday and that she was an angel

and not to worry because the cruise will be amazing and she'll be treated like a princess we hugged said goodbye and she said that she was really happy to have met me and that I visited her when no one else would

her mother had two other kids and she never went to visit her she said that she always looked forward to my visits because I didn't talk about her cancer and instead I made her laugh

overall it was a very hard day the point of my story is that if you're a parent please listen to your child

don't take their final wish away from them make sure they're happy because every second is precious

and then op adds in an edit sadly the little angels already passed away I'm sure she's in a better place she like many other kids show us what true strength really is she just wanted to meet Robert Downey Jr

her room was full of Avengers posters man just imagine the mentality of that mom wow it sucks that my daughter is dying but hey at least I get a free vacation out of it

how much do you want to bet that after her kid died she called up the maker wish foundation and was like so are you guys still going to pay for that cruise after all it's what my precious daughter would have wanted
