Chris always wanted to be a police officer.  That was his dream.  He wanted to grow up and fight bad guys.  Unfortunately, Chris had leukemia.  A local US Customs officer heard about Chris and his wish, and arranged a special day.  Chris got a helicopter tour, a custom made uniform, and became the first honorary patrolman.  Three days later, he passed away, but he got to live his dream for a day.  That was the first Wish in 1980.

A box of fun band aids for the little ones to cover themselves and anyone else while on plane rides. Hours of fun for the whole family.

Raising a Difficult Child


I strive to be a great parent. I have moments of glory and others of massive doubt and worry. Because I constantly revisit what is a good parent?

It’s often me bleeding and worried and they are texting ...
