No, it can't be a kidney.  Something fairly realistic and do-able in your lifetime (not that a kidney isn't, but work with me here. :lol;)  Something you'd want to receive, somewhere to go, something to do, someone you'd want to meet...what would it be?

Something that is do-able in my lifetime would be to have my son go to a top 10 college. That is my goal and why I continue to fight and live on dialysis. I have 9 years to go.  :-\

I would love to go around Africa with Bono (from U2) and do the relief work and public awareness stuff he is passionate about.  I think that would be really cool and very rewarding.

Something else I'd like to do is (once I have a nursing degree) is visit various countries and do relief work and health missions, like vaccinations, public health stuff, etc.

I want/wish to go visit the country of Australia. I have always been fascinated with since the third grade.  I want to see the Opera House in Sydney, and might event take the tour of the high bridge tour where you can see all of Sydney.  Then off to Steve Erwin's Zoo, then off to Alice Springs, then the Great Barrier Reef area, and  Ayer's Rock, and see the outback and stay on a cattle or sheep station.  I have a biiiig wish here!

I'd wish that I could learn how to surf.  I always thought that would be cool.  You might think that's not a very big wish, but I live in Utah.

I would wish to have my house paid off.  If I had that done, I wouldn't have to be so worried about paying for my daughter to go to college.
