I actually have a tape recording of it. It goes something like this: "I wish Mom had arms coming out of her hips, and legs coming out of her shoulders. Then she could just ROLL AROUND, like a wheel." What was beneath that wish, I wonder? What did he yearn for that that wish would make possible? Perhaps only the novelty of a mother who could roll like a wheel, but, knowing him, there was probably something deeper going on, too.

At her Santa photo this year, when he asked her what she wished for, she paused. I was expecting to hear her request a toy or something along those lines. Instead she said "I wish I could see my friend Azabel." Meredith has an imaginary friend, a Puma she has named Azabel. At her Santa photo this year, when he asked her what she wished for, she paused.
