Sounds more like the parents manipulated the child into making this wish. "Remember that place we stayed with the cool pool/waterslide/whatever?"
It disgusts me that any parents would hijack their sick kids wish in such an obviously selfish, self-serving way.
I'm in a foul mood so forgive me for being rude. It's not a commentary on sick kids or the Children's Wish foundation.

That's quite a cynical and unnecessary view imo.
Maybe the kid does remember it.
Maybe he never went but he saw pictures and thought it looked awesome and really wanted to go.
I highly doubt his parents are looking at their kid with cancer and thinking "Hey, how can we benefit from this?
