Miracle
Meaning
from the word "miracle"
The story
Miracle is the wish register at full volume: Hope wishes quietly, Dream names the wish, Nevaeh writes it backwards, and Miracle simply declares the outcome. The climb has been unbroken for four decades, each fuller than the last: about 600 in the 1980s, 2,500 in the 1990s, 6,300 in the 2000s, 7,800 in the 2010s, and 4,600 so far this decade. It goes to girls about 21,500 to 500. The register around it is one of the ledger's most human: Nevaeh at about 98,900, Hope at about 97,700, Journey and Haven both storied here, names that state a wish outright on the certificate. Miracle is the register's plainest declaration, and the record simply shows it growing: four decades up, and this one still counting.
