This has been circulating on twitter and Facebook. And every time I see it, I have to click over to read it again.
It's so beautiful, because it's dreams, fantasy, having things become real when they're surreal.
On November 15, San Francisco is going to turn itself into Gotham City and give a special, little little boy, a day that will long and forever remind him of magic, and the magic of people.
Though there are clips all over, I love this one from ABCNews, Bat Boy For a Day.
For a full schedule of his day, and details on how you can be a volunteer, go here.
Will you have tears? Yes, you will. But in a glorious twinkly eyed way.
* Come join the Make-A-Wish Foundation for a fun-filled day of everything Batman as San Francisco becomes Gotham City on November 15, 2013.

I can't wait to see clips from the day!
ReplyDeleteWow that's nice. Kudos to San Francisco for doing something truly special.
ReplyDeleteHello, my lovely friend! It's so good to be here on your page. I feel like I'm being wrapped up in a big, warm Alexandra hug right here, right now while just reading your words.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE San Francisco. It's one of my favorite places on the planet and yes, I can totally see the fine people of that town doing this. I am usually there at least a couple times of year and in fact, I won't be there for this stupendous thing, but my husband will be! I'm so excited. Depending on his business schedule, he might be able to participate. next best thing, I guess.
Thank you so much for your, as usual, lovely words on my blog. It was a tough few months, but I'm back from the dark and ready to get my blog on. I hope the same is happening for you, that you are finding your way back from that endless abyss of grief. I've been there, Mama, give it all the time you need. The light will come back, slowly but surely.
You, my dear, are just the best thing of all times and I love you with all my heart.
Oh, this just makes my heart jump for joy. What a sweet, sweet gift the city of San Fran is giving this beautiful boy. The kindness of strangers never ceases to amaze me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this, Alexandra. First I've heard of the story. Also? I've missed you most. It's so great to be back here and read your words again. I hope this finds you well. Off I go to play catch-up. XOXO
