If there was a Genie and he granted me one wish, it would be to have told my grandmother how much I loved her and to have spent more time with her before she passed away. I keep thinking that she would visit me in my dreams like how it is in movies, tv shows,etc. but it hasn't happened yet. Her death has affected me so much that my grades dropped and every other night I would think about her and cry.What's worse is I can feel her embrace when I hug my pillow. I smile and laugh but knowing that she can never come back is like a stab in the heart. The days are getting closer to the day that she passed away and I remember that day clearly. It's almost like it was yesterday.

My wishes and dreams! God that sounds funny when you type that. It's almost like fairy, tales do they come true? It reminds me of the song “Fairy tales can come true it could happen to you, if you’re young at heart”. To be honest my dream was to write a book. It might not happen I spend a lot of hours at work. I pray the success of this book brings me a two-car garage. I only would like two bedrooms one and half bathroom. A basement for my washer and dryer. My kitchen with Brown marble top imported from Italy. LOL! I always dream realistically so that my dreams stay at arms length. While we are dreaming I would love to donate 1million dollars to kids that have be molested that would like to become writers. I learned when you are in situation like that writing out how you feel always helps. Kids never now how they feel some times until they see it on paper. I would love to give to all those young girls and boys that feel like no one hears them. No one can see the pain that they show in their eyes everyday as the simile appearing that nothing wrong. I hear you, and I see what most people don't care to see. Other people’s pain, and it’s my dream to help any one that just needs an ear. Growing up, as the youngest was hard my sister was gone way before I was born she is thirteen years older then me. I always held secrets sometimes those very secrets have come back to hunt me in a dream or two. There are children out there holding secrets that no one will ever no about that could hurt them. My wish is to

Hey Tyra, I would like to thank you so much for making my friend Jenny with cancer(she appeared on your wishes and dreams show)dream come true. She lost her battle with cancer on May 31st 2009. She was such a courageous, strong individual just like you. I miss her so much, but know she will be watching down on everyone she loved. Thanks again so much

Hello Tyra and show, I am 23 years of age and in my last desperate hour to get my teeth fixed. Ever since I was a young teenager braces was always on my mind but financial struggles stood in the way. I do not feel like I’m myself at all, but a different person and smiling never happens even when I am really happy. My true emotions do not show when I’m trying to express them because of how my teeth look. Please give me strength Tyra to be more confident like you, and words of wisdom to heal my sadness. You are such a strong inspiration to all age groups and genders around the world. My love and support goes out to you. Thank You

my wish is that i can help everyone that I come across everyday but is quite impossible. I hate to see people suffer , currently I volunteer at this nursing home in my neighborhood. I do little fun activities with them and it makes them happy. I just really Wish I could make everyone I come across happy.

Hey Tyra I watch your show everyday. I was thinking maybe you can help me. I have been with my fiance for seven years now and we are ready to get married. The only problem we have is we can't afford the wedding. I just want a small wedding but I want the perfect dress and we cant afford it at all. If you have any information that could help I would appreciate it.

Dear Tyra, This Yentle again you probably seen my last comment saying that I wanted to see Keyshia Cole. Well things have changed know and things have taken a turn for hopefully the good but now its the worst. I have two sons LeBron(1) in a half and Jah'Bron he is 8 months old. Recently We just found out that my 8 month old has cerebal palsey. I am so on my on july 9th I will be 22,I'm so stress I cant focus in school and I live by myself in the projects with no help from family sometimes mom, but dad is not around anyore. Bascially dreams do come true thats why i'm in LPN school tryna make it for my kids, but it's really hard to go to school and take the baby to physical therapy go to daycare, and make it to school in kentucky. I just really need a car I've prayed on it and ask god just for a bucket car nothing new. I just really hope this message gets to you because this would be a big help to me and my children also a belated birthday present. Thank You P.s Ty girl I stay tuned everyday even at the doctors office. God Bless!

Dear Tyra My name is Vivian an I am 38yrs old and my big wish and dream is to have rhinoplasty. All my life I have been made fun of my nose. For I have a small petite face. I really don't like it, even though I have adjusted in accepting it. Plenty of times I would look in the mirror and push my nose up to see on how I would look with a smaller nose. There are times I would cry and wished for a smaller nose. I guess I am not over in accepting myself a 100%. When I was 12 years old, I almost jumped out of a second floor window. I hated myself at the moment and did not understand why I was made fun of. I have looked into rhinoplasty, and think that it will change my life. I will thank you with the bottom of my heart, if you would make my dream and wish come true. Love Vivian
