My goodness. You all look so happy on your 'girls' vacation. I see the castle in the background.
What a great story of how people can come together and share joy with their family and a friend much in need of cheer.
You did a fine job of telling this in very natural voice.
Thank you for sharing.

You can't beat Pooh for wisdom, can you. I love this story. Very positive and uplifting. It shows that if something is meant to be, it will be. I applaud your generous heart. Wonderful photo.

Comment from Rembrandt
A very moving story with a wonderful message for those that think they've come to the end of "possible". With our Lord, all things are possible. Loved the story and sequence of events. The title of the story took away any suspense because stories about the "Bucket List" generally turn out fulfilling and happy. Well done!

This is a fabulous story. I cannot find anything to fix. It reads very well and is both entertaining and moving. Beautifully done!
I loved the inclusion of the Milne quote and the full circle return to the bucket list at the end. Wonderful!

I have never read anything by you, could not miss it at the top of the page. A sad and very emotional story. Well written , I hope the three of you will have a great time in Walt Disney World. Held my attention all the way.

Thank you so much for the good review. Yes, I haven't been very active on FanStory over the past few years as work has kept me away. I'm glad you enjoyed this, and we did have a wonderful time.

Hi Janilou,
God is indeed great, He always manages to surprise us somehow, and always when we least expect it.
Nicely told story.

Comment from Dawn Munro
Well, if you think this needs a little more blending, I won't argue but to me it was lovely - extremely well-written. You told an amazing story of love and compassion so beautifully it moved me to tears. You have a wonderful narrative voice and the story was unique and very touching.

Your story has so many 'Wow!' moments. I am a believer. Unfortunately, at the moment, I feel like huddling away from people, my soul is so tired.
But I so enjoyed your story of stepping out and being a light to those who needed it.
Very nice writing and story!

Comment from Spiritual Echo
When you are granted and give love with such generousity an edit is not needed.
As a crusty old crow, I rarely break down and cry over words splashed across the screen, but in this case I felt sorrows drop away with every tear.
