Throughout my life, I often heard the question, what would you do if you were granted one wish? I was fascinated by people's responses. What do you think the answer to this question would be? World peace? A functional family? Good health? End poverty? On the contrary, many people said or replied that they wanted to win the lottery and have all the money in the world.
This question has resonated with me for a very long time. Why do people wish for money? I could never imagine wishing for any amount of money to make me happy.
I learned when I was younger that no amount of money could bring me happiness. In my humble opinion, our life experiences, and our outlook on life define our happiness. Therefore, the only wish that I would have ever wanted was to spend one more day with my beloved father, who died over three decades ago.
My father was my best friend, my mentor, and an absolute inspiration to me. There is no amount of money in this world that could bring me the happiness that my father brought me. I began thinking about the people closest to me and if they felt the same way: if they had one wish, would they choose to spend the day with a loved one who died?
For One More Wish explores not only my personal journey through grief but also shares the narratives of those people who were courageous enough to write to me. It takes a great deal of transparency and courage to write about having one more day with the person you loved the most in your life. The amazing people in this book wrote authentically about what their day would look like while transcending through their own grieving process.
