R&R
"Beautiful Fairy"
Kirsten neatly placed her loose strand of hair behind her ears. "Dad, look the company needs some good publicity. I thought you would have been in favour of this charity. Look how much work mom put into it when she was alive"
"Kirsten, I just don't understand why you can't just post the cheque, I mean you have work to do" Caleb said as he impatiently shouted his secretaries name.
"Well you know what Dad, I want to do this, I for one feel I have a lot to contribute to the hospital, so I'm taking a day off" Kirsten stood with her hands firmly on her hips.
Caleb looked up at his daughter
"It means this much to you?" he asked
"More than anything, please daddy" Kirsten pouted a little and Caleb looked into his daughter's eyes
"Oh Kiki you know I can't resist those puppy dog eyes, ill co sign the cheque just give me two minutes"
Kirsten smiled and replied "Thank you"
Kirsten took a deep breath before she entered the doors of the children's hospital. She was greeted by a blacked haired nurse with a white uniform. "Mrs. Cohen, it's lovely to see you, I have to admit I was a little surprised when I received the call, I thought there was a massive party to raise money"
"Yeah, I know there was suppose to be but I just really wanted to come see this hospital for myself" she replied with a smile.
"Kirsten Cohen, the last time I met you, you were a small five year old. I was good friends with your mother"
"Oh" Kirsten offered out her hand to gesture a handshake.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Hannah, I remember you use to love the cookies I made, you were such a beautiful child, and nothing has changed, you are the image of your mother"
Kirsten's eyes began to light up "Hannah Taylor, Wow its been so long, I remember you vaguely, but I remember your cookies more, they were delicious"
Hannah and Kirsten laughed together. "Your mother would have been proud of you Kirsten, she loved this hospital and she did make a difference to these children's life"
A small smile appeared on Kirsten's face, "Well Hannah, I hope I can make a difference that is if you will let me"
"Of course Kirsten, it would be an honour. Let me introduce you to some of the kids"
Kirsten followed Hannah as she walked passed many rooms. Hannah was pointing in different directions, but Kirsten's eyes remained firmly fixed on a brightly coloured room with blue clouds painted on the walls.
Hannah noticed Kirsten's gaze and walked towards her. "Kirsten would you like to go into the room?" she asked.
Kirsten nodded and Hannah opened the door.
Kirsten gasped in amazement as she looked around the room. There were a group of children in wheelchairs happily singing along to "Oh Happy Day", there was a little boy with a baseball cap nodding his head to the music, and another group of children listening attentively to story time.
"Hannah, there is someone on the phone for you, they said it was urgent" a young woman said from the doorway.
"Excuse me Kirsten, why don't you make yourself comfortable, I'll be right back"
Kirsten looked at the various pictures on the wall, and laughed as the children clapped along with the music. She glanced around the room when she noticed a little girl sitting on her own. Her beauty amazed Kirsten, she was sitting underneath the window in a pink night gown, the sun was shining on her, and Kirsten smiled to herself.
Kirsten instinctively took a walk towards the little girl.
"Hi" she said as she slowly sat down.
"Hi" the little girl smiled as she picked up her pink colouring pencil.
"I'm Kirsten, what's your name?"
"My name is Ella, Ella Grace Mackenzie, is my full name. I love my first name because it means beautiful fairy, and that's what I want to be when I go to Heaven. My middle name is ok, but there is this girl called Grace who I don't really like, and my last name I like because it's Ruthie from seventh heavens first name and I like her"
Kirsten giggled at the little girl's introduction.
"I Love your name, I think it's really pretty. What age are you Ella?"
"I'm five and a half. What age are you?" she asked lifting her head from her colouring book.
Kirsten smiled replying "Let's just say I'm a lot older than you"
"You are really pretty. You have hair like a princess. I use to have blonde hair but it's gone now"
A ray of sadness appeared on Kirsten's face. Ella looked up at her and said "Do you want to help me colour my picture?"
Kirsten's smile returned to her face as she looked into Ella's deep brown eyes. "Sure honey, what are you drawing?"
A big smile appeared on Ella's face, I'm drawing a castle on a cloud. See here is the clouds and the blue sky, and the golden sun shining, you can draw me If you like and I will draw you. I think we should both sit on the clouds"
Kirsten obeyed and picked up the pink crayon. She looked at Ella who was colouring happily and humming to the nearby music. She smiled and looked around the room again. She felt like she belonged here. She thought of her mother and how happy coming to the hospital made her feel. Kirsten could never really understand her mother's fascination but at that moment in time she finally understood.
"Kirsten" Hannah interrupted her drawing.
"Wow Ella, that's a really pretty picture. Who is that" Hannah asked pointing to the picture.
"This is my new friend Kirsten, she has pretty long blonde hair, and she looks like a princess I like her".
Hannah smiled at the little girl before turning to a smiling Kirsten. "Kirsten consider yourself lucky, Ella doesn't like a lot of people, isn't that right Ella" Hannah chuckled lightly.
A smile appeared on Ella's face, "I like some people, just a lot of people annoy me, like the doctor when he makes me sick, I don't like him"
"Ella, honey why don't you go help Jacob with his colouring. You know he likes when you draw with him" Hannah pointed in a little boy's direction.
Ella signed as she got up out of her chair. She walked past Kirsten before turning around and giving her a massive bear hug. "Will I see you again Princess Kirsten?"
Kirsten wrapped her arms lovingly around Ella and whispered "defiantly beautiful fairy"
Ella smiled as she walked across the room. She looked around again and pointed to the picture on the table. "You can take that home with you if you like"
Kirsten lifted the picture and asked "are you sure? Will it be ok if I put it on my fridge door?"
A wide grin appeared on Ella's face and she nodded in agreement.
Hannah gestured Kirsten to follow her, and Kirsten left looking inside the glass window one more time. She saw Ella waving frantically and she waved back smiling.
"Look's like you made a friend in there" Hannah laughed
"She is such a lovely little girl, what is wrong with her" Kirsten asked.
"Well" Hannah replied
"She has been here since she was three years of age. Her mother was a teenage parent and placed her in foster care. She was diagnosed with Juvenile Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia, which is a very rare form of Leukaemia around three years ago, and since then she has become a full patient in our care"
Kirsten placed a hand over her mouth in disbelief. "The poor little girl, so basically this little girl has had no one her whole life. No family, no home, nothing"
"Yes I'm afraid so. Ella is a wonderful child, and she's one of many children out there in the same situation"
"Hannah, I want to help her, what can I do?" Kirsten asked
Hannah smiled at Kirsten's enthusiasm. "Be her friend, and don't let her down"
"No Problem, I think that little girl has been let down her whole life, and I do not intend on doing that to her"
