"We all get one good wish a year over the candles on our birthdays. Some of us throw in more: on eyelashes, on fountains, lucky stars. And every now and then one of those wishes come true. So what then? Is it as good as we’d hope? Do we bask in the warm glow of our happiness? Or do we just notice that we’ve got a long list of other wishes waiting to be wished?
We wish because we need help. And we’re scared. And we know we may be asking too much, but we still wish though. Because sometimes they come true."
