Mary Moe may look like an average grandmother．But she is not．She just learned how to fly an airplane，a dream she has had since she was a little girl．But Mary Moe could not find time to make her dream come true．At age 34，she was just too busy to think about flying a plane．Lessons were costly．Everything seemed to be working against Mary．So her dream had to wait．

Mary Moe has done a lot during the past 91 years．For much of that time．she wanted to fly, but never had the chance—until now．

MS．Moe learned about Wish of a Lifetime．a non-profit organization．Its goal is to change the way our society thinks about aging and older adults．Sally Webster works for the group．She said Ms．Moe’s wish is one of hundreds they receive each year．

Wish of a Lifetime helps older people to enjoy a dream．It also sends the message that it is never too late for a dream．But Ms．Webster says it also wants to send another message to society that older Americans can achieve things just like younger Americans can． Susie Danick also believes in this goal．She founded TAD Relocation，a business that helps senior citizens when they move．Ms．Danick gave$5．000 to the wish of a Lifetime to help seniors realize a dream．Mary Moe was one of them．

Mary Moe received three flying lessons．And on the big day of her first flight，her family and friends all came to cheer her on．Mary’s success made everyone around her excited and proud．It was just a great event，a great day．Flying teacher David Waksberg says she was very calm，which is always important when you’re flying．
