Hi, I am a frequent flyer on these boards and love it....Not sure where to post this story, but it deserves a telling......I work at a large University Hospital as a social worker in Rehab...In just the last few weeks, we had a young man under age 10 who was diagnosed with a severe brain tumor...Make a Wish got involved and the boy said he wanted to go to Disneyworld...the wheels started in motion, but unfortuntely the tumor spread rapidly and the family was told he could not travel....within a few days in walked a full crew of Disney characters in "full dress"....Mickey and the whole crew flew up from Florida to our Peds unit to see this boy....he was in a partial coma, but opened his eyes and cried when he saw the characters...he knew they were there......somewhere in all of the ins and outs and ups and downs at Disney, this grounded me again and what this did for the family and this child cannot be measured in stock or rumors....peace.....Ted
