I look over at Ben in the passenger seat of the car and he is sitting there with his fingers crossed and his eyes squeezed shut. Curious, I ask him what he is doing. He says, “I saw a shooting star, so I am making a wish.”
“That’s cool. What did you wish for?”
“I wished that my heart would be healed, so that I wouldn’t have to have any more surgeries. That would be an awesome miracle!”
“I agree that would be an awesome miracle.”
“My friend Jaxxon says that if you can remember exactly what the shooting star looks like you can make multiple wishes.”
“I have never heard that before. That is pretty cool! What else would you wish for?”
“I wish that I could also have super powers. Because then I wouldn’t care if my heart didn’t work so well. But I bet I get both!”
Me too, Ben. Me too.
Connie does too. Love that Ben. Wonderful boy.
