Triplets Love Paul:
I've just read over the posts in this thread, lindafan's thoughts on Karma, wunjo's thoughts on heroes and a miracle, tears of joy, Podgie's thoughtfulness, just the loving feelings expressed here in general. Given the openness of feelings, and the season, I think it may be the right time to share something personal with all of you that have visited this thread. I hope that all of you make it back here to read this. I believe it will really alter the way that you think. The triplets discovered Paul McCartney at two and one half years old. They were head-over-heels in love with him by the age of three. To this day, he is without question their favorite person on the face of the earth. Simply put, for the triplets, the sun rises and sets through Paul McCartney. The only wish they ever expressed, the only dream they've ever had, was to meet Paul McCartney. I explained that would never, ever be possible, and the reasons why. During our children's fourth year well-check, their pediatrician discovered that Joseph had what he believed to be a very rare type of tumor. He sent us to Children's Hospital. He was correct in his findings. Although the tumor is not malignant, it is one that very often kills children, as it is generally discovered later in age. It attacks the facial area, the ear, the neck, the brain and scull. My son has undergone numerous surgeries over the years, which included the removal and reattachment of this ear, and the opening of his scull. He has permanent hearing loss in his right ear due to it. It has been horrific! The hospital offered to put us in touch with Make A Wish. I declined the offer. Night after night, after everyone went to sleep, I would tip-toe downstairs. Alone, in the quiet, I would pray that Paul McCartney would tour, so that my son would get to see him before be died. I never imagined my children meeting him. When that night in Philly came, and Paul brought my children on that stage, I knew then and there that I'd never be the same. I knew there was divine intervention. I knew that miracles do happen, Karma does exist. To this day, we've never told Paul McCartney about Joseph, and what he has done for him, not even in our thank you letter to him. Sir Paul gave the triplets a picture of them with him on stage. He addressed it to them, wrote a message, and signed it. Every night my son stops to stare at that picture. I once asked him what he was thinking about while looking at the picture. He said "do you think if Paul dies before I do he'll take care of me until you get to heaven?" On another ocassion, I asked him what he was thinking while looking at the picture, he said "you know, if I do die, the only dream I ever had came true." I have never again asked him what he's thinking while looking at the picture. Paul McCartney personally taught my children that anything is possible. He taught them that any dream you can imagine can come true. He personally showed them that when you openly give love, you receive love. Paul McCartney is the hero here. He is my children's hero. He is my hero. There is a special place in heaven for Paul McCartney. For those that may be interested, Joseph is checked every four months for tumor regrowth. As of October, he has been tumor free for one year. It is a very good sign. We hope everyone is enjoying a wonderful holiday season. We think it is very special that so many of you have openly expressed your feelings. That doesn't happen very often. It's difficult to take that chance, but when you do, it really feels good!
