After much anticipation, Franny finally had her dinner with the princesses, including her favorite Cinderella. She was clearly in awe as each princess was announced and then moved around the room to speak to all those attending. Our table was one of the last for each to visit, but Franny was very quiet and patient; she just continuously looked up to see where they were as she ate her dinner and worked on decorating her paper tiara. It was emotional for me to see her so overwhelmed—they are very special to her and also very real. Disneyland is just where they happen to live. She posed for pictures with all of them and gave them all hugs, which is something that Franny is not that free with. She didn’t say much, which didn’t surprise me, but I was so impressed with how calm and poised she was. I don’t think I’ll ever forget the look on her face and the amazement in her eyes. It was a very special night—it’s an incredible thing to be able to see your child’s dreams come true.
