I write and talk about sports for a living. Quilt, sew, bake, and love Chicago. Probably making a Taskmaster or Murder, She Wrote joke. I won't answer any questions you can Google. I'm here for conversation, not debate. I mute whining about officials.

Holy shit, you guys. Within two hours, all but two of the wishes in this thread have been granted. I will try to do another thread tomorrow but in the meantime you can look up more. Thank you all so much. You’re making me cry the good tears. www.onesimplewish.org/giving/megwa...

Man, this is the best feeling. I get why you do this. I've now told my family that all I want for Christmas is some kids' wishes fulfilled and I feel like I've won the Super Bowl. It's so cool.

This would be one of the few things that could top seeing DJ Casper himself lead the Cha Cha Slide at a Sky game while holding a baby.

One thing to add: One of my friends here said he would go through the wishes with his kids to decide what to get other kids and I think that's such a good idea. Teaching your kids about generosity isn't a one-time thing. It's a practice.
