Smile

The snowflake landed on her nose. And all I wanted to do at this point was

a smile. Overwhelmed with emotion and excitement of the new snow, I knew

she would love not only the brightness that it brings but also the cool feeling

that she has never felt from something so small. No one knew about the

life she has had in the bubble in her family house. I knew she was only

allowed to look out the window for years. She saw snow, she knew what it

was but she never had the chance to touch it or see the whole picture. When

the window filled up with snow from the outside she couldn't see anymore.

Her whole life was lived from a bubble from an illness she had since birth.

I knew it called for snow today, I decided I was going to sneak in her house

open the bubble door and quickly run her to the porch to feel the snow.

She wasn't at harm, because I heard her doctor say she could

if ever needed, go outside

for no longer than 30 minutes in case there were a fire or emergency. Well,

this was an emergency. It very seldom snows here and this was going to be

a miracle. So let's make two miracles happen at once I thought. It's dull cloudy

and the wind was nippy, so I made sure she had enough clothes on to block

the difference. We went to the porch and her face lit up. I didn't know if it was

too cold or not but she had the biggest smile a person could ever see. And that's

when it happened. The snowflake landed on her nose. And all I wanted to do at this point was a smile.
