How Little Girls Saved My Life

That year had been the worst of my life, I was so sick and tired of fighting a losing fight. I came close to giving up on everyone and everything, I struggled to find anything, to the world, I could bring.

When I went there I expected to have some fun. To play dress up, color and run around under the sun. But I had no idea why I was really there. God lead me there, showing me finally that He really did care.

Everything started out as normal as can be. But as the days went by , I sensed what they really could see. They looked in your eyes and right into your soul. Knowing just what to say, they started filling the hole.

It hurt me to see how much they loved me. “I didn’t deserve it,” I thought “They didn’t know the real me.” When she said “Cassie, I love you as much as I can love,” as she looked me in the eye. I realized I had to change for her and myself and started to cry.

I hadn’t realized that they had been changing me. Crumbling the walls I had put up, opening my eyes so I could see. All that pain I had been through and still felt. With their smiles and laughter, they slowly started to melt.

I never truly wanted to quit what I thought had helped my pain this the last year, No one could say something that could make it all clear. But something about how those little girls looked at me. They made me realize the person I needed to be.

Those little girls may never know what they did for me. But I will always remember how they saved me.
