The Pink Dress! >> >> >>Don't
let your day go on without reading this first, no matter >>how busy
you may be!!! >> >>The Pink
Dress >> >> >>There was this little girl sitting
by herself in the park. >> >>Everyone passed by her and
never stopped to see why she looked so sad. >> >>Dressed
in a worn pink dress, barefoot and dirty, the girl just sat >>and
watched the people go by. >> >>She never tried to
speak. >> >>She never said a
word. >> >>Many people passed by her, but no one would
stop. >> >>The next day I decided to go back to the park
in curiosity to see >>if the little girl would still be
there. >> >>Yes, she was there, right in the very spot
where she was >>yesterday, and still with the same sad look in her
eyes. >> >>Today I was to make my own move and walk over
to the little girl. >> >>For as we all know, a park full
of strange people is not a place >>for young children to play
alone. >> >>As I got closer I could see the back of the
little girl's dress. >> >>It was grotesquely
shaped. >> >>I figured that was the reason people just
passed by and made no >>effort to speak to
her. >> >>Deformities are a low blow to our society and,
heaven forbid if >>you make a step toward assisting someone who is
different. >> >>As I got closer, the little girl lowered
her eyes slightly to >>avoid my intent
stare. >> >>As I approached her, I could see the shape of
her back more >>clearly. >> >>She was grotesquely
shaped in a humped over form. >> >>I smiled to let her
know it was OK; I was there to help, to talk. >> >>I sat
down beside her and opened with a simple,
"Hello." >> >>The little girl acted shocked, and stammered
a "hi"; after a long >>stare into my eyes. >> >>I
smiled and she shyly smiled back. >> >>We talked until
darkness fell and the park was completely empty. >> >>I
asked the girl why she was so sad. >> >>The little girl
looked at me with a sad face said, "Because,
I'm >>different." >> >>I immediately said, "That
you are!"; and smiled. >> >>The little girl acted even
sadder and said, "I know." >> >>"Little girl," I said,
"you remind me of an angel, sweet
and >>innocent." >> >>She looked at me and
smiled, then slowly she got to her feet
and >>said, >>"Really?" >>"Yes, you're like a
little Guardian Angel sent to watch >>over all people walking
by." >> >>She nodded her head yes, and
smiled. >> >>With that she opened the back of her pink
dress and allowed her >>wings to spread, then she said "I
am." >> >>"I'm your Guardian Angel," with a twinkle in her
eye. >> >>I was speechless -- sure I was seeing
things. >> >>She said, "For once you thought of someone
other than yourself. >>My job here is
done". >> >>I got to my feet and said, "Wait, why did no
one stop to help an >>angel?" >> >>She looked at
me, smiled, and said, "You're the only one that >>could see me,"
and then she was gone. >> >>And with that, my life was
changed dramatically. >> >>So, when you think you're all
you have, remember, your angel is >>always watching over
you. >> >>Pass this to everyone that means anything at all
to you. >> >>Make sure you send it back to the person who
sent it to you, to >>let them know you're glad they care about
you. >> >>Like the story says, we all need
someone... >> >>And, every one of your friends is an Angel
in their own way. >> >>The value of a friend is measured
in the heart. >> >>I hope your Guardian Angel watches over
you always. >> >>Pass this message to 7
people. >>You will receive a miracle
tomorrow. > > > >
