everyone's clear with what this foundation does, right? it gives sick children a chance to make a dream come true. well, anything within fiscal limits i am assuming.
the reason i bring this up is because about a year ago i was hospitalized and had a couple surgeries done. about a month or two ago a friend of my dad's who works at the hospital, probably pr in the children's wing or something, had a little chat with him. when kids with crohn's disease are hospitalized for an extended period of time or had the surgeries that i had done to me done to them they are elligible to "make a wish." i am not entirely sure about the legitimacy of the conversation because my dad tends to exaggerate, but it was still an interesting thought. it also brought about some moral dilemmas. i mean, i'm relatively well off right now. i only get sick every now and then, and it's not near as sick as i was before. there are kids out there who are truly ill and probably deserve to make a wish way more than i do. why should i deprive those kids of a wish, or at least of some type of funding towards a potential wish, when i don't truly need it.
the reason this thought was refreshed was because my family n i are going to california for christmas. we'll be going to the bay area to visit with my auntie from the 25th or 26th (maybe the 27th because my 18th birthday is on the 26th and i'd rather be in town for that) and other family friends. originally my sister and i planned on going to see a show or two while we were there. however, when i found out that bob barker was retiring it brought up the thought of going to see a price is right show before barker retired. i've always loved the price is right, even though i don't watch it very often, and i'll be of age to go to it while i'm in california. i hear getting tickets to go see the show is veeery difficult. i'm sure it's even harder now that barker has announced retirement. the thought struck me tonight about the make a wish thing when i was watching that commercial where wayne gretzky tries to write his name with a pencil in his mouth but sucks dick at it.
what would your wish be?
