Something I've noticed is that nobody talks about how sad it is after a Make-A-Wish trip. I see a lot of "Disney Depression" but haven't seen anyone talk about MAW in particular. I am so grateful for organizations like Make-A-Wish that helped my family go places we never would have otherwise. Two of my sisters are very sick, and both got wishes. One from MAW and one from The Dream Factory. We got to go on a cruise in 2015 and this July we went to Disney World. We had the time of our lives both times.
For some background info, we NEVER would have been able to do this without the wishes. Never. Before my sisters got sick we never even dared to think about doing these things. And when we got these wishes we were so happy. We were almost normal. I have never seen my sister happier than I saw her watching the fireworks at the Magic Kingdom on our last day. Even though she had to miss some time because she was unable to move. She was happy. I was happy. I remember trying to hold back the tears while watching. Because I know we will never go back. I see a lot of people saying the only thing that helps is planning the next trip. For us there is no next trip. How do I deal with this?
