When it comes to childhood dreams, most of us dream of going to Disney World, meeting a celebrity, or even becoming one. However, one extraordinary grandmother had her wish come true at 104.
You might have heard organizations granting wishes after their loved ones sent a letter asking for it. Usually, people in hospices talk to their caregivers about some of their desires.
This was when these caregivers and the organizers made the impossible possible. Bertha Komor had only one wish since childhood: to meet a penguin. But unfortunately, the woman lived in Connecticut all her life, so it was not easy to spot one as they stayed in the cold and icy parts of the world.
The 104-year-old lady had talked about her wish to her caregiver at the Village Gate Farmington. The old-age home organizers were set on the goal of making her wish come true.
This was when the Twilight Wish Foundation joined hands with the retirement home to ensure Bertha’s wish came true. Soon the volunteers reached the Mystic Aquarium, which had beautiful penguins.
The foundation, with the aquarium members, arranged for a meet and greet session between Bertha and one of their senior penguins, Mr. Red Green. They brought the penguin into the standard room, where Bertha sat with her friends and family.
One of the volunteers placed the penguin in Bertha’s lap. The senior woman could not contain her joy and was all smiles when she could hold the penguin and pet him. It was definitely a wish come true for the senior lady.
