A statue stands in a shaded place
An angel girl with an upturned face
A name is written on a polished rock
A broken heart that the world forgot
...
Kenny glanced at the small stone and sighed deeply the stone had Karen Ann McCormick aged 7 years and 5 months beloved daughter of Carol and sweet little sister of Kevin and Kenny very much missed sleep with the Angels little princess

Karen stood next to him looking real as he did and so beautiful too she was smiling and wore a lovely white lace sundress trimmed with daisies along the bottom and white sandles her long chestnut hair was shining and in long silky curls still tied with a white ribbon and she looked so healthy her cheeks rosy and she was clean and she gave Kenny a beautiful smile

Not like this in physical form this was a one off I could appear to you like this but everytime you close your eyes you will see me also I will be in tour dreams too and no matter what I will always love you Kenny smilled Karen
Kenny then burst into tears and sobbed if his heart was being ripped out then suddenly he felt small but firm arms wrap around him it was Karen hugging him
Please don't cry Kenny you have to be strong and I know that you can be strong and also that you can do it Kenny Karen said holding her brother's hands as Kenny sniffed and nodded
Suddenly before Karen could say any more to Kenny a soft gentle female voice was heard in the distance and coming closer
Karen darling it's time to go now we have to go back your time in this form is almost up the voice gently said
Coming grandma Karen said smilling turning to look at the woman and seeing that Kenny gasped in shock not believing it
The beautiful figure was his late grandma who was standing behind Karen and smiling and also with her was Nelson yet Kenny didn't recognise him as he had hair he'd met Nelson twice with Stan when he was battling Cancer and he was bald at the time
Grandma Nelson Kenny said shocked as the couple smiled at Kenny but remained quiet as Karen went over and took their hands
Remeber what I told you Kenny be strong and don't worry about me you enjoy your life I will watch you from afar and kiss my little neice and nephew from me when the kids come along I know that you will be a good dad Kenny Karen said smiling as the trio walked off hand in hand and vanished into a beautiful bright light leaving Kenny very confused
Kenny was then brought to his sences by a hand gently shaking his shoulder and a voice calling his name
Kenny Kenny wake up dude the voice said
Kenny looked up as he was lying on the grass and found the hand belonged to Kyle who was squatting down near him and Stan stood not far behind
Dude you okay you fell asleep and the grass is still damp from the rain last night are you okay their asked Kyle now standing up and helping Kenny to his feet
I I fell alseep oh God I was talking to Karen she was hear also so was grandma and Nelson too Stan"s little friend Nelsons cured of his cancer now but I swear Karen was here she held me Kenny said
I know you must have dreamt it you have been here for like over an hour are you sure your okay dude asked Stan
I dunno really it all seemed so real and Karen was real as you guys are she touched me I touched her also she told me about my future that I'd do well at school go onto collage and universaty and get a good job she even said I'd get married and have 2 kids boy and girl it was all so real I swear it Kenny said making Stan and Kyle look at each other
Yeah sure dude we beleive you but let's go now I'm not really. Fan of cemeteries and let's find Cartman before he eats everything in sight including our shares said Kyle as Kenny sighed
Okay I guess so hold on a sec Kenny said glancing back at Karen's grave then noticed something that wasent their before a large beautiful snowy white very soft feather like an Angel"s feather
Wow where did that come from asked Stan looking at the feather
Over their dunno where it came from its if it fell from the sky said Kenny
All birds feathers are too small even birds of pray and it's so soft too and pure white no birds that I know of has a feather like that Kyle said confused
Maybe it's from something else said Stan looking at the staue of the angel at Karen's grave
An angel said Kyle
Yes nodded Kenny smiling as he took the feather from Kyle and Stan leaving the boys confused and that would puzzel them for years to come

Is everything okay their Ken asked his wife smiling and coming over with the stroller that had a mini Kenny in it same pale skin sparkling blue eyes and pale blond hair like his dad
Yes I'm fine darling just thinking about Karen that's all at times it seems like Yestarday I stood here as a young kid with Stan and Kyle we were little kids back then 10 or 11 years old I was struggling to cope at loosing my sister and what to do next I was totally lost and Stan and Kyle though they helped best they could they had no idea what I was going through really and in time they stopped coming and went on to do their own things they don't even live in south park now Kyles in New York Stans in Florida somewhere both leading their own lives haven't seen them since we were 17 but also that day at the grave something happend and I still don't know if it's a dream or what but Karen appeard to me predicted my future even to the gender of the kids then she vanished leaving that feather we still have Kenny said scooping up his daugher in his arms then kissing her cheek again before kissing little Kenny on the cheek and gently ticking his hands as his wife scooped him up then Kenny kissed his wife on the lips
Well I promised you Karen that I'd kiss your neice and Nephew for you and again thank you Karen for being my gaurdian angel I will never forget you my little princess said Kenny and even little Karen said bye bye auntie Karen sorry I didn't get to meet you
Soon baby Kenny was strapped back in his stroller and everyone got ready to leave
Okay now who wants ice cream said Kenny smilling as little Karen yelled me me please
I still can't beleive Sizzelers is here after all these years we'd hang out their as kids all the time Kenny laughed as he and his family left but suddenly Kenny thought he heard Karen's voice calling him softly from far away and Kenny paused for a moment and turned round and got a suprise
He seen Karen his sister standing next to his grandma she looked still aged 7 and also standing next to them was Nelson he too was still a little boy and their grandma gently smiled and placed her finger on her lips if to say shhh so Kenny nodded before leaving and he lifted his daughter onto his shoulders saying were going on a teddy bear hunt and making her giggle as the family left and he was happy as he knew that he had a guardian angel his sister to look after him and she was at peace and happy now
