98th Birthday Wish Granted

A lifelong Chicago Bulls fan had his biggest wish granted just after his 98th birthday.  

James Ream lives at the Countryside Care Centre in Aurora, where he's getting care for congestive heart failure.  He never made it to a Bulls game, and staff members say he's too sick to make it to one now.

Since he can't get to a game, Ream wished for one of his favorite players to come to him!  At his 98th birthday party, he wished to meet former Bull, Bob Love.

Well, the Passages Hospice "Dream Program" helped make it happen and granted Ream's wish yesterday with a visit from Love.  Both men were excited about the meeting. Here's what Love told the Beacon-News:

“This really makes my day to come out here and say hello to everybody.  They gave me the right name. I’ve got a lot of love to give.”

Here's a link to the full story on their meeting in the Beacon-News:  Bulls great helps grant man's 98th birthday wish
