I Wish To Go Somehwere Where I Can Swim and Stay the Night


5-year-old Josephine, from Denmark, had a very unique wish. Josephine lives with a congenital heart defect and dreamed of going somewhere where she could "swim and stay the night."
One day two Make-A-Wish Denmark volunteers visited Josephine to find out her most cherished wish. Her parents, Joseph and Lisa, and her brothers, David and Benjamin, were there too. It was clear rather quickly that Josephine was a real princess and although she had just recently had surgery, she was very energetic. Josephine told the volunteers about her love of swimming and her dream to go somewhere you can "swim and stay the night."
The volunteers left with their mission while Josephine and family waited anxiously until the day when they returned with a big surprise. Josephine was given a Make-A-Wish Barbie, then a lovely princess dress, but she couldn't imagine that the volunteers had more. Finally they handed her tickets for a trip for the entire family to the Lalandia resort!
On the way to Lalandia Josephine and her brothers asked their parents to drive slowly to make the trip last as long as possible. In Lalandia they swam and played in the pools, tried making candy, skiing, playing badminton and so much more. They even ate at the restaurant every day, so mom and dad could also relax.
