Today i was at the playground with my 7 year
old brother, this younger girl came up to him and asked if he
wanted to play, it was clear that she had some form of
cancer,
she had no hair and a scarf around her head. they played about a
whole hour. Then, when she got tired of running around, they sat
in the shade of a tree and talked for another two hours about
everything they could think of. They talked about what they
wanted to be when they grew up, my brother wants to be a fireman
and she wanted to be a vet. They talked about how they have the
same favorite color, blue.
They talked about how the moon isn't really made of cheese.
Then, when it was time to go, she gave him a hug and said:
" Thanks for talking
to me. " He said, " No problem, do you want to
meet here tommorrow? " She said sure. then her mom
came to pick her up. And we went home. The next day we went to
the park, she wasn't there. We went the next and te next, but
still there was no sign of the girl. The fifth day we went, and
her mother was sitting on a park bench, head in her hands. We
walked over and asked where her daughter was. The only thing she
said was, " She died
four days ago. " My little brother's face
dropped. Then, he took the mother's hand and said in a
serious voice, " She
was the most beautiful girl i've ever seen. She still is. And
i will never know another girl like her. I wish i could tell her
what i wanted to say, but i'll tell you instead. She had the
most prettiest eyes and smile, and really funny stories too. She
told me all about the hospital and what she went through. Please,
know that i am sorry that you lost her. Even though i only knew
her for a couple of hours, i was going to ask her to marry
me." He then took out of his pocket a small ring made
out of copper wire, and handed it to her mother.
"Give this to her will ya?"
That is love.
