I'm betting it's not so much pity as admiration. I hope she comes to see that,
And she does sound down-to-earth. There was a story in the local paper recently about a nearby high school senior whose leukemia is in remission. He too had the chance for a wish from Make-a-Wish. His first thought was to meet Lebron James (?), but he changed his mind and asked that Make-a-Wish provide lunch (Chik-Fil-A) one day for his entire school as his way of saying "thanks" for all the support teachers and students had given him. He stood in the food line and spoke to each student and teacher who came through. Pretty cool, I thought.
