Thank you for bringing endless smiles and laughter to my beautiful sister. Thank you for giving my family memories that will truly last us a lifetime.

Thank you for bringing a light back to her eyes.

I can't thank you enough for everything your organization has done for my family, especially my sister.

This past year has been extremely rough on her, from hospitalizations to surgeries. It's a lot for a person to go through, let alone a kid.

She has persevered through the worst of it. To have this trip to Disney was the absolute best for her in every way possible.

Disney and Universal Studios went above and beyond in making sure she felt special. They let her go in Fastpass lanes and even to the front of lines on certain attractions.

Characters at the park treated her just like a princess, taking as many pictures as she wanted and spending time talking to her.

We stayed at Give Kids The World Village and every volunteer there was so unbelievably kind. Give Kids The World is all about the families not having to lift a finger, and they made sure of that with us.

There was so much love and happiness that poured out of that place, it automatically made Gracie carefree and excited.

It was more than just a wish granted; it was one of her dreams that came true. I can't put into words how much this experience has meant to my little sister.

This was everything she wanted, and more.

Thank you for making my sister forget about all of her problems. Thank you for making her realize that she can truly be happy.

Thank you so much.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
