After Rhett's wish was fulfilled, we were invited back up to the Utah Chapter Make-a-Wish Foundation home in Salt Lake City. We left poignant messages for Rhett in one of the scrapbooks on display there.
Rhett is an inspiration to so many. He doesn't let his Cystic Fibrosis keep him from achieving his goals and pursuing his dreams. We are grateful for the opportunity his "wish" gave us to celebrate him and his outstanding attitude and life.
Rhett carved a message onto his own star, which now hangs from the ceiling with the many others that have been raised in hope, healing and celebration.

Rhett's wish first came about through his wonderful social worker up at Primary Children's Hospital who submitted his name to the Make-a-Wish Foundation in response to some difficulties Rhett was facing. Two awesome wish granters, Mary and Jessica, came to our house and worked with Rhett on selecting just the right wish. Next, we were invited to the foundation's home to see if the wish would be granted. It was! After securing passports and letting the wish granters take care of ALL of the rest of the details, we were off to spend an amazing week in the Bahamas. The photo above is of us reconvening at the foundation after the wish was fulfilled.
