    >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.
