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 < < < < < < < < < < < < < < 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 those 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. 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. < < < < < < < < < < < < < < Be Blessed!! < < < < < < < < < < < < < < Just repeat this phrase and see how God moves!! < < < < < < < < < < < < < < Lord I love you and I need you, come into my heart, < < < < < < < < < < < < < < please. < < < < < < < < < < < < < < Pass this message to 7 people, except you and me. < < < < < < < < < < < < < < You will receive a miracle tomorrow. < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < <
