Turning the impossible into a dream come true

My goal was to take my son on a wonderful vacation out of the country. I was in the middle of a financial crisis and was successfully crawling out little by little through strict budgeting. I decided, however, that I really wanted to take my son somewhere special on vacation. I mentioned it to my mother and began to sharpen my pencil to find out how I could save the money to go ... in the meantime my mother mentioned my goal to a mutual friend who I had not been in touch with for awhile -- coincidentally she had found a great deal for herself and her kids to go to Cancun. I was able to take advantage of her great pricing and we shared some expenses -- we went to Cancun and in the process rekindled an old friendship. To see the excitement on my son's face as he's being kissed by dolphins is priceless.
