Meghan's Wish

Meghan has finally gotten her Wish from the Children's Wish and it is to be in a movie. The movie is currently called the Love Child with Donald Sutherland, Rebecca Romijn, & Rossif Sutherland. On Monday, April 13th we went to the Royal York where they put is in a suite for 2 nights and we had a fantastic night out the 5 of us with dinner, champagne, we played cards and walked around in our Royal York robes. Tuesday morning Sandy from the Children's Wish foundation came up to our suite around 9 am with a beautiful boutique of flowers for Meghan. At 9:30 Suzanne for Red Eye Media who worked with the Children's Wish to help organize Meghan's wish to be in a movie came with Greg who is a make-up artist and Sarah who is a stylist. They did her hair and make-up and than let her try on about 6 different outfits to choose which ones would be best for the shoot. We headed by limo at 12:40 to the Art Gallery in Hamilton where the movie was being shot. Josh drove out our van and we met him there. There wasn't much going on when we arrived other than the extras getting there hair and make-up done, so we sat in a big cafe like room with them , unfortunately the movie wasn't starting until about 3:30 and Josh had his hockey finals at 7 in Markham and they had just told us the day before that only one person was able to stay the whole day with Meghan so Joe & Jamie were going to have to leave with Josh and that was around 4pm. I didn't want to push it but I did ask if Jamie could stay and they said that was fine, which looking back, Joe could have actually stayed as well, we could have just taken turns going and watching her. ET Canada came around 4:30 to interview her and they did that most of the day, filming her behind the scenes and than with an interview with Meghan and also myself. They also did an interview with her and Rossif Sutherland and he was such a gentleman. Because he was so much taller than Meghan he stood in a lunge position throughout the whole interview :) She was in the filming almost the whole day until about 11:30pm and she got to see Rebecca Romijn blocking at 11:30 but didn't get to met her but she will have a chance to meet her and Donald Sutherland on Thurs. April 23rd when they've invited us back to meet the cast and watch them film. She did amazing and it was great to see her transform from this shy, nervous person to be very confident by the end of the day. We met the 2 producer and they were so thrilled that they were able to grant Meghan her wish, but we were the ones that were thrilled. We left the set about 12 midnight and headed back to the hotel where Joe was waiting up for us. We were all so exhausted but when we woke the next day it was hard to believe the experience we had had the day before. To top it all off on our last day my cousin Kelly gave birth to a baby boy named Kai so we went to visit him, it was the icing on the cake.

I'm so glad that I could share all this info with all of you.

It's been a long time since I posted. Meghan had her follow up at Sick Kids on Mon. Apr. 6th and everything went well. She goes back Mon. June 8th.

Meghan will finally get her wish from the Children's Wish on Monday, April 14th. She will be an extra in the movie called the Love Child with Donald Sutherland & Rebecca Romijn. They are putting us up at the Royal York on Monday, she will have her hair and make-up done around 10 a.m. on Tues. and than we will have a driver take us to the studio for filming from 1:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. and than we will head back to the Royal York for another night there. She will be interviewed by ET Canada on Tues. at the studio and they will do a feature on her but we don't know when yet. Hopefully it won't be on the cutting room floor. We will get a copy of everything just in case it does. Since the big actors won't be filming on the 14th they want us to come back down on the 23rd or 24th so they can meet her and she can watch the filming.

We are so thrilled for Meghan to finally have her wish and we will keep you all posted on when the movie will be released and when she will be on ET Canada!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Michelle & family :)
