On Friday night our family met some amazing individuals. With our driveway full of wood, crushed limestone and a covered pallet we began to grant Grace's Make-a-Wish wish. Individuals we had never met came to our house shovel in hand and spent more than 12 hours working to build Grace's dream. We were amazed at their kindness, their generosity, and determination for a cause that involved our sweet daughter Grace. From a 15 year-old high school freshman to veteran contractors and business owners, and everything in between, we poured our sweat into making a playhouse that Gracie spoke about months earlier in our living room. Since that day when we met Sue and Marlene, her two Make-a-Wish wish grantors they had been working to make sure all of Grace's wish came true. From a loft full of soft pillows and bean bags, an ironing board and an iron, a pink interior, to stepping stones all was included. In the end........well she was amazed and we enjoyed a memorable night with old friends and some new ones.
