I wrote the song Make a Wish to honor wish kids and their families. The story behind the song is very personal and special to me and my family. It's written in memory of my toddler nephew Austin, who lost his battle with cancer, back in 2001. Austin was granted an amazing wish by the Make-a-Wish Foundation. Our family will be forever grateful for that beautiful wish. :) :) On the left is my absolute favorite picture of Austin! He had the most beautiful smile! The center picture is one that makes me giggle, and the last is me and Austin. :) Austin loved the PBS show The Big Comfy Couch. Have you ever seen it? It was such a cute children's television show that featured the adventures of Loonette the Clown and Molly her doll. Austin just fell in love with that show, and it gave him great comfort, as he battled through so much pain. The VCR tapes of the show were a blessing for our family, especially during hospital stays. I remember visiting my sister's house and hearing the theme song always playing in the background. When the episode ended and the credits started rolling, I'd look over at Austin and he'd be looking at me, pointing at the tv. I'd say, Do you want to watch it again? His little head would nod yes, up and down, until we started the tape again and again and again. So, when my sister and brother-in-law heard that Austin was granted a wish, there was no doubt what that wish would be. Loonette the Clown was coming with Molly the doll, for a personal visit with Austin. :) Earlier that day, Austin was very sleepy, but when Loonette the Clown arrived with Molly the doll, he was so incredibly wide awake and happy! Austin, Loonette the Clown, and Molly the Doll spent a few magical and unforgettable hours together. We were all with him; his mom and dad, his brother Bryce, his cat Penny, and the whole family. I remember watching his amazing smiles! He was having such a wonderful time feeding Loonette Cheerios, one at at time. Loonette also brought a surprise box filled with wonderful gifts from the show. None of us will ever forget that day! Austin is on the left sitting with Molly the Doll. On the right is Austin and his older brother Bryce. :)I've wanted to write a song for several years, but I guess I just wasn't ready yet. I needed to heal. All of us needed to heal. I knew for sure that I didn't want a sad song. The song had to be a happy one. I wanted to capture that happy moment in time, when Austin was granted his wish. He was beaming with sheer joy! He and the whole family finally had a break from all the tears, needles, doctor visits, and all the other awful stuff. Even if it was for just for a little while, we will forever remember all the smiles, laughter, and joy. The song finally started coming to me and then wouldn't let me go. I thought I was done with the song, but something still felt like it was missing. Quite a while later, I said, I know what's missing! The wishes are missing! So, you're in for a special treat! Listen for the wishes... as soon as I heard them, I had tears in my eyes and knew it was finally time to record! :) :) :) Click below to listen to Make a Wish!

All of you have made this possible! Here is the link to their website: Make-A-Wish AmericaThank you to my co-worker Jammal Holt Brown. I never knew he played piano, until I watched him on a social media post. I knew I needed to ask him to play for the song, and he agreed. Thank you also to Gary Holt Studio and Frank's Nashville Demos. A very special thank you also to my nephews Matthew Jr. and Kingston, and my nieces Zariah and Sophia. WELLNESS: For the wellness portion of the post I feel it's so important to offer help for those who are grieving. Whether you're grieving the loss of a child or sibling, a parent, friend, or even a family pet, we all need help to make it through those traumatic times. I encourage you to go for grief counseling. It helped our family tremendously. Visit the following sites:Coping with Grief and Loss - HelpGuide.org Grieving the Death of a Child is often referred to as the ultimate tragedy.
