A Wish With Wings
Resource Details
“There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic so powerful as the expectation of something tomorrow.” – Orison Swett Marden, inspirational author
What powerful words to describe HOPE – something so fleeting and intangible. It’s what we see on the face of a child who learns that his or her one true wish is about to come true. A child who, through the despair and uncertainty of a life-threatening medical diagnosis, still believes in the power of hope and the expectation of a better tomorrow. We call it the_ Magic of a Wish_.
