comes true

Wish finally realized

Comes true describes a prediction, dream, wish, or hope that actually happens: Her childhood dream of becoming a doctor finally came true.

The phrase implies something once imagined or desired has become reality.

It applies to positive outcomes—nightmares don't come true, they're realized or happen.
