"Highlight"

Virginia. I may be bluffing now, but I think I just made her little life that much happier. I can see it in her eyes. She's at kid at the boys & girls club that has a skin decease. Her skin is in really really bad condition, her forehead is filled with white flakes and her hand or any other part of her body looks like its in really bad condition... Skin condition. I feel so bad for her because she seems to stay away from the other kids... Maybe because those other kids stay away from her too. I was helping her with her packet, her word search, and the little girl next to us said "wenxi! be careful dont touch her hand because one time I touched her hand and it started itching!" and Virginia didn't say anything... as if it was a normal remark towards her... I felt so bad. I even bumped into her hand a few times on purpose to show her I was not afraid. She's such a poor cutie, I wish she had better. Just by me helping her, she had a smile on her face. When her mommy came to pick her up, she ran toward me and said "hey! come here! I have something so show you!" and introduced me to her mommy. She told me she was going home. She had such a smile on her face...

Really, I can't imagine a little kid like her going through that. I mean, I've been through similliar stuff... with my leopard prints. Oh believe me, I hated it so much when I was smaller. I wanted mama to get rid of it and I would just... get teased about it a lot and some peoples would not be my friend because of it... I hated those times... Me looking back, wow. And now I am seeing a girl that is going through the same thing, and even worse! No one is brave enough to go near her because how her skin looks... Hearing all those other kids say stuff like that about her.... Wow. I wish I could go be with her more. Knowing that I might be her first friend there at the boys & girls made me want to cry... She was so happy.
