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 gir l.

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 e, � 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

Lovely, touching story. We DO have a guardian angel watching over us. May I share a true story?

Last November I was in Atlanta, USA, trying to find an address. I had to go to the Brazilian consulate and was on the right street but the number was still very far.  As I was walking, an old SUV moved out of a garage and an older man said, "You seem lost". I told him I was on the right street but still far from my destination. He looked at the number, pointed at some buildings and said that one of them had to me the one I was looking for. He moved on and I continued walking. As I reached the building I saw that the street ended in a kind of tunnel and the building was not the right one. I could not continue walking and there were no taxis around. I made a silent prayer asking for help and in that very moment the same car stopped next to me and the man said, "God sent me here to help you!" He explained that the Consulate was very far and I could not reach it walking and he said again, "God told me to go back for you." 
 
That kind man was my guardian angel ´s helper.
