A related phrase is fairy godmother. This is an idiom for a wish grantor.

    @a The beauty of language is the many ways we can say things and the subtle differences we can convey by those choices. You select the words that best convey what you want to convey. No need to apologize.

  • Can I use it as: "I try to realize your wish?". Or, "I can realize your dream?"
