Wishes that really get to your heart.

Some wishes I recieved, really touched my heart. I know that's kind of cheesy, but there's something about the way these people write, that you know they really want these wishes. I've put a girl named amy's first. Maybe at first, you won't think this is so meaningful, but she use to be a really close friend of mine, and this wish almost made me cry. the rest really get to you. these are wishes I hope to get more of.

If I could have one wish, it would be to be able to see [travis] one last time. I feel selfish saying that. Like my one wish should be for the greater good of people. Such as no more war, or world peace. but its not. because the truth is, nothing could ever make me happier then being able to look into his deep blue eyes just one last time. he was perfect for me, and I feel lost in the world without him. It's been 11 months, 19 days and about 9 hours 17 minutes, since I lost him, and yet I could still never imagine moving on.
I would ask him so many questions, did you miss me? Do you still love me? Whats it like up there? Why can't I have you back? Do you regret anything?
I have so many questions, and zero answers.
THAT would be my one huge powerful wish.
I just wish it would come true.

much love,
always and forever,
amy jensen.

If I could have any wish it would be able to see my friend who moved to florida for a day. Nichole moved away from here a year and a half ago. But when she moved we lost contact. Even though i could call her I can't because her house burnt down and it would mean alot to me if I could see her again even if its for a day. but if i could not get that wish, then I would wish for more time so that I could talk to her on the phone or write to her through the mail.

I would complete the sailing trip around the world I began in 1993. I would like to complete my life of charts and food directory.

I wish that I could relive a certain part of my life and let someone know how I really felt about her because I know now that keeping feels bottled up is not the path anyone would want to take and I sometimes wonder what could have been, it kills me just to wonder.

wishes are used to make an idea of a better life. when you make a wish you are so desperate for it to come true that when it does not, the situation becomes worse. My experience with wishes has not been succesful. The feeling of wanting something so bad and not recieving it is horrible. when I make a wish I try to make it realistic so there might be a possibility that it may come true. My one true wish is not very realistic and it hurts to know that it will probably never come true. I wish that I could go back in time and live every moment to the fullest. When I look back at my life I knew I could have made better choices and I feel like I did not take advantage of everything I had. Sometimes I wonder if my current life would be better if I changed my past. Although, then I think to myself, I would not be the person I am today if it was not for my past. so I look at this wish and I know it will not come true, although it shows me that I need to make right choices now and live life to the fullst now to make a brighter future.

If I had one wish, I would wish for Christopher Mckinney to come home. Although we weren't the best of friends, we were getting there, and I find it very sad that he has been gone for all these months. I have heard a ton of rumors about where he is but I don't really know for sure. but I wish I did. Chris was always very nice to me and I like him a lot more than most of the people I know. This is why if I could wish for anything in the universe I would wish for chris to be home and safe and happy. I miss him very much and I know that I will not be satisfied until he is home and we are talking face to face.

my one wish is to not be diabetic. Diabetes is a really complex disease. Diabetes takes off at least 10-15 years of a diabetics life. People usually die around 80 without diabetes! Take 10-15 years off of that and you will have 70-65 years to have. So I can live a good life with my family, my wife, and my children. To think about it yourself, what would you want to experience for 10-15 years. You can travel the wrold and meet new people and see new places or you can do a hobby. Like playing golf or playing soccer.

If I had one wish, it would be to move on from the past. I've become very attatched to things and sometimes I can't let go all the way. Sometimes the past keeps me from moving on to bigger and better things. So I would want to be able to let go and move on with my life.
