So excited but I am going to miss him :-(

    So before I tell you all why I am so excited I am going to tell you guys what I been through in life,
    I have had some major suguries done to me since I was a couple of days old.. I had to have my first Open Heart Sugurey in November 1991, I had to have an eye sugurey when I was 3 or 4 and then I had to have another Open heart sugurey in December 2007 and then a stint put in my right leg in July 2010 so yes I been through a-lot in life and I have had more major suguries but those our the only ones I remembered.....
    So the reason why I am so excited is because a few years ago my Mom found Make-a-wish foundation on GMA ( Good Morning America) and my mom contacted a week either bye email and then they did not get back to us until 2 years after my mom contacted them... So back in March they came to my house so that they could get to know me a little bit and I had to tell them what my wish was and give them a photo of me... My wish was to meet my favorite NFL team the Pittsburgh Steelers! My second wish was to go to Disney world, so they said ok we will see what we can do!! So a few months later they contacted us back saying that we were going to meet the Pittsburgh Steelers and spend 4 days in Pittsburgh! This was during the NFL Lockout then they contacted us in Via Email to tell us what game we wanted to go to.... So we picked Steelers vs Patriots game on October 30th as our first chocie and Steelers vs Ravens as our 2nd chocie... So then once again they did not get back to us for a few months and then last month they emailed us saying what we wanted to do on our second day down there my Mom and I picked the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium and then the Hinez field Musuem as our second chocie so then last week my mom got a call from the Make-a-wish foundation saying that my Mom and I are going to Pittsburgh on October 27th and staying until October 31st we are going to meet the Pittsburgh Steelers on October 28th I am sooo excited and can not believe that my wish is about to come true.....
    The sad part is that I was supposed to be at my Dads on October 29th and October 30th and leaving on Halloween I told my Dad that I was not going to be there that weekend and he was fine with it... I am going to miss Harlem so much that weekend so I am not going to not see him for almost 3 weeks what a sad Aunt I am going to be.... On top of that Roman is going to be born and I am going to miss him too.... I am going to be there 2 more times before I go on this trip.... But this trip is so worth the wait, I just wanted to share my news with you ladies!
    Love

    Hi Dani! I think it's great that you'll get to meet The Pittsburgh Steelers! (Thank goodness for Make A Wish, right? I had thought that they only help little kids. But I found out from a friend of mine that they help anyone that's sick.) You went through a LOT as a kid. I'm glad you're alive today :-) I agree that it's sad that you won't be able to see your little nephew. It's one of those times where you wish you could split yourself in half. Half could go to see the Steelers & the other half could spend time with the little guy. Think of it this way though. Seeing the Steelers is a once in a lifetime thing. Your nephews will ALWAYS be there. I hope you have a BLAST!! "Aunt" Kathy (who has health issues herself but it takes a while to explain. Email me if you want to know,OK?)
