And I think to myself.... what a wonderful world.

And I think to myself.... what a wonderful world. When Collin feels good everything is right with the world. I LOVE good days! We decided to celebrate the first day of summer by going to Disney Land. Isn't that the way we celebrate everything???.... Yes, we celebrate most things with a good healthy does of Disney Land. We had such a fun morning. The weather was beautiful and cloudy. We had so many sweet moments but I will share some of my favorites with you. Often times Collin is recognized by cast members because he is just so awesome and unforgettable! wink!! They know that if a child has a "green light" pass then they are most likely a Make A Wish child. Some times they will ask me questions about him and his illness. Most people are touched by his story and all that he has to go through on a daily basis. When we went on the Jungle Cruise a skipper saw us and yelled "Hi Collin!!!" When we got off the ride she had a present for Collin. It was a map of the Jungle Cruise signed by all of the skippers. She had ran around getting everyone to sign it for him because she knows how much he LOVES that ride. It was such a thoughtful gesture that will forever stay in my heart. "By doing small acts of kindness we can do great things." At another point in the day I looked over to see Regan holding Collin's hand. She is such an amazing sister!!! When we got home Collin started to hurt. He eventually started vomiting from the pain. Jason and I canceled our date and have been loving and comforting him. The meds have kicked in and he is feeling better now. Even though we had a rough little patch in the road today I can't help but reflect on all of the smiles today and think to myself............















......What a wonderful world!
