the people behind the sears make a wish campaign should be very proud of themselves; their commercials get me every time.
every time that "got a package for the wishers....." starts, i can just see my future child, receiving the metaphorical tools they need to help others. all i could ever wish for, is for my child to change someone's life for the better - to work towards the greater good, whether that means they are a doctor volunteering in an impoverished area, a lobbyist, working towards pro-social polices, or even an artist, creating beauty for the world to enjoy.
thanks for the warm fuzzies sears.
