You always want your mom at your wedding. Rosalyn Bryant found that difficult with her mother in the hospital with a terminal illness. When she mentioned to Debra Harrison that this was her heart's desire, Debra was determined that her miracle wish be fulfilled. Debra arranged the wedding. She arranged the room and the flowers. She even gowned Ms. S (the patient) in a blue frock. Her hospital room became a wedding chapel. Tears of joy were on the bride's face and her mom's face. It's not often we can make such a difference in a family's life, but Debra gave them a precious memory that can be revisited and shared with future generations. The patient died two days after her daughter's wedding. The wedding added nice memories for her daughter.
