Dreams really do come true.

Some dreams are loud and obvious. Others are quiet, tender, and almost too fragile to say out loud — in case they don’t come true.

For a long time, we carried a small, private dream. To see Joni remembered publicly. Not in a grand or showy way, but softly, respectfully, and with love. A simple wish to look up and see her face, her name, and the kindness she continues to inspire.

This year marks ten years since Joni passed, and as the year began to draw to a close, time felt suddenly very precious. There was an urgency — not born from panic, but from knowing that moments matter, and that some things need to be done now.

When the screen opposite our home came into view, it felt like more than coincidence. That screen can be seen from where we live, from the place where Joni is closest to us, and the thought of her being there — even briefly — became a quiet hope. A dream we almost didn’t dare to believe in.

And yet, through kindness, timing, and the most extraordinary compassion from the team at Wildstone, that dream became real.

Seeing Joni’s tribute displayed so beautifully has been profoundly moving. It isn’t just an image on a screen — it’s a reminder that love doesn’t end, that kindness ripples outward, and that community still matters. It’s proof that even in a world that can feel rushed and impersonal, there are people who truly care.

This moment has reminded us that dreams don’t always arrive with fireworks. Sometimes they arrive gently, bringing comfort, reassurance, and a deep sense that you are exactly where you’re meant to be.

Joni continues to guide our actions. She continues to shape the path we walk. And this screen — this dream made real — is one more reminder that love leaves a mark far greater than time.

Yes. Dreams really do come true.
