Wish Stories

 

Five-year-old Jesse knew the story of Sleeping Beauty, but was still shocked when he saw Sleeping Beauty bend over and kiss his brother on the cheek. His face in awe, he gripped his mother’s arm and said, “Where’s mine?”

Jesse and his family went to Orlando for his wish. It was a great wish for all of them. The family even called from Florida to say that they were having a wonderful time. They said that the trip meant a lot to them because they could not have given something this special to Jesse and his three brothers.

Of course, Jesse’s favorite part of the trip was the kiss given to his brother. A close second was meeting and taking pictures with all of the characters. His favorite characters were Mr. Incredible, Pocahontas, Lilo & Stitch and Aladdin. In a heart-to-heart conversation, Mr. Incredible told Jesse that he could be just like him, if only he had the outfit. So, Jesse got the outfit! His brother might have kissed Sleeping Beauty, but Jesse became Mr. Incredible!
