>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, "Your 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.
