    The Destiny/Destiny 2 community does a ton of stuff like this, and it's all super heartwarming just like this story. I don't play the game, but I've heard a lot about the efforts of the communities to recognize and help people with wishes like these. One of the most famous is when someone had asked to see their dog in-game. There is now an emote in-game of a loyal dog sitting happily in front of your avatar, tail wagging and all.
    It's surprising how much wholesome happiness that these online game areas share, what with reputations of the competitive communities being toxic. I absolutely adore everything that games can do for people.

      The community can be toxic, but in moments like this, they can be the most wholesome and awesome community. When Lance Reddick passed away, he was a voice actor for an important character in game, the whole community came together and paid their respects in game. Posting pics online, emoting in front of the character with different emotes to honor him. Lance Reddicks wife was super grateful, it was one of the most wholesome moments I’ve seen out of the community.

    The family with the kid who wished to meet Elmo should have just written to the OG crew members. I know Bob would have made sure he got to meet and great everyone.
    If you have a dieing kid who wants to meet Sesame Street characters just write into the oldest people still in production. Bob taught me they use to hire people, not actors. I’ve heard plenty of people thanking them for just being kind because sadly kindness is rare now a days.
    Side Note: Bob was capable of fulfilling his final wishes.

    My mom and brother, Chris both got wishes as adults. My brother wanted to be baptized. They brought in a pastor and used the hydro therapy tub and baptized him at the nursing home he was living at. My mom wished to go to a Lakers game. She was given tickets but unfortunately, by the time the Lakers were playing, my mom was too sick to go so my sister took my sister in law and they went to the game while I stayed home and took care of my mom. My mom and brother have both since passed.

    A brain surgery. Now that's cool as shit. Honestly, one of my favorite parts of nursing clinical has to have been being able to see a C-Section. You don't really do anything. I helped clean up after, that's about it. The charting nurse was watching me lean forward and thought I was about to pass out.

    I was 18 when I was diagnosed with Leukemia, and Make a wish gave me a wish. I was going through treatment at the time so I couldn't focus on making my wish at the time and decided to wait a bit so my mind was clearer. A month later I had my 19th birthday and celebrated it in the hospital. Well I was then given the news that Make a wish was revoking my wish due to aging out of their age range. That put me in a depressive state as my only thing to make my time bearable was taken away from me. Luckily I managed to hang in there and now i'm in remission.
    Because of the way I was treated, I no longer support Make a Wish.

    You know, if I ever were going to die, in a year or two, my wish would have to be something like the fighter jet kid. Hell, I'd probably go with the black hawk kid, or maybe a UH-1D. Shame all the old vietnam war pilots are retired. I've heard stories about when the nam pilots came back and worked as pilots for flight medics in our area. They were absolutely insane. Story once of a serious injury on a highway. Power lines criss crossing the road. Field next to it is absolute mud. These SOBs bring it down in the field, hovering just above the ground that's too damp to land in. They then flew the helicopter UNDER the power lines and right up to the ambulance. The guys who survived nam knew how to fly, and I'd give damn near anything to ride along side them. Hell, I'd be crazy enough to enlist if I were born then lmao.
    I want to experience something that I'd, otherwise, never be able to experience. Or maybe I'd go the route of an experience I was planning to get, but due to my illness, would fall short.
