Try not to shed a tear, tell me you don't have a lump in your throat, when a wish-granting organization sends a sick kid to Disneyland or arranges for them to meet a favorite performer. It's magical. On the next Sound of Ideas, we'll meet with people who make that magic, sometimes for sick children, sometimes for those who just seem to need something special. A little kindness goes a long way, a lesson we all can hear.
For more wish granting, read column host Mike McIntyre wrote on one of these wishes here.
