The Day I turned Five....again


There are so many times I dreamed about going to Disneyland in my life, I've completely lost count. It's an experience I wondered if I would ever get. The day I walked into the park I honestly could not BELIEVE it. Tim promised me by hook or by crook he was going to get me there. He's always so good at trying to make all my dreams come true. Standing in front of a castle I'd seen a million pictures of was incredible. Riding all the rides I'd dreamed of riding as a little girl was surreal. Spending time with people who understood the meaning of lost childhood dreams, and being on cloud nine was so impactful. They cheered with me as I walked through the gates, they laughed with me as I rode the teacups, and they cried alongside me as I watched the fireworks show.

Yes this was the day that taught me that "no matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, the dream that you wish WILL come true." Yes, it really happened.
