From the moment I told my father he was going to be a grandfather there has been a longing for fishing trips with this new addition by his side. Iris’s diagnosis went hand in hand with new challenges, dreams were put away for a while but never forgotten. Nine years later his wish was granted, to spend happy times on the water with his granddaughter. So my message to you all today is don’t forget your dreams, no matter how hard it may seem in the moment when you put them away always know they are there and one day when the time is right you can make them come true.

Lovely to see her progress. You must be so proud.
Beautiful heartwarming pictures!
Cecelia here – It is AMAZING how much Iris has grown over the years, as I have followed her progress for a long time. Have also purchased on more than one occasion her note cards, and have also spread the word about Iris amongst friends and colleagues! She is ever so special, and I shall continue to support her efforts/progress!!!
How wonderful for grandfather, Iris, and you! Thank you for sharing the photos and especially the thoughts about dreams delayed. I need to take that to heart today.
Iris is growing so quickly. Looks like she had a fun day.
I love this girl and I don’t even know her. I look at the picture I purchased and think of her all the time. She is an inspiration with the gifts God has given her in-spite of her challenges. May God bless her family for letting Iris live her dreams as she sees them!
