If you could have three wishes, what would you wish for?
1. The first thing that I would wish for is for you to be a healthy baby. There are so many things that I worry about when it comes to you, but the biggest worries concern your health. Please know that if you have health issues, your father and I will make sure that we do everything we can to take care of you and make everything better, but I know that life is much easier without some of those challenges.
2. My second wish is a little more selfish. I would wish for enough money that we never had to worry about finances again. I don't need to be ridiculously wealthy, but I would love to be able to have no debt and enough money to know that we could get anything that we needed without any concerns. I think about money a lot, especially when it comes to you. I don't think there is anything wrong with you not getting everything you want as long as you have everything you need. However, we want to make parts of your life easier: paying for college, helping you get a car, allowing you to participate in school activities without having to worry about working, and things like that. My parents were able to do those things for me and it gave me some advantages that I really appreciate.
3. My third wish would be for me to find a middle school library position in the Wichita Public Schools. I love being a teacher, but I really want to be able to fulfill this dream of mine. Sadly I see the opportunities for this to happen slipping away. This district seems to be making decisions about library media services that will make it less and less likely for me to be able to find a position. I want this so much, but fear without my wish coming true, that it won't be reality for me.
My first thoughts when I read this topic was that I already had everything that I could wish for, but honestly, there are always things to wish for and dreams that we hope will come true. However, I don't want you to ever think that this means I'm unhappy with things as they are now. I have a husband who loves me, a daughter on the way who I wasn't sure that I was ever going to be able to have, family and friends who support and love me, and everything that I need in my day to day life. So while I will always have wishes and dreams that might be just beyond my reach, I have learned to treasure all the gifts that I have been blessed with and be grateful for all that I have.
