>>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 the 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.
