The eclectic dissadence....

Everybody seems happy....

About 15 years ago my mum was a teacher (she still is but consider things)....  I was thinking about this tonight.  I helped my mum out in her class on one of my days off.  There was a girl with really curly hair, she was about 8 years old.  I found out that apparently this girl had a hole in her heart and would not live into her twenties.  At the end of the day I gave out the sweets (lolipops) to all the kids leaving.  I gave one to every kid, but the last kid was this curly haired girl.  I gave her the last 4 lolipops in the bag because I felt so sorry for her.  She seemed so wonderful and full of life.  She must have died over 10 years ago.

I have thought about this tonight....

I don't know, but what is wrong with the world that this sort of thing happens?  She must have died 10 years ago, but tonight I feel really emotional about it....

I just remember that curly haired 8 year old little girl, who sat on my lap (when I was 13) and asked me to take her to a wonderful new story adventure world and take her away - for a brief moment, from the awful (hospital) world she lived in, the medics and the nurses, but the joy she once had....

I thought about this tonight.... and I cried....
