Ding Dong! went the door bell. I ran to answer it. A little girl was standing there with an envelope with glitter make up on her eyes and bright red lipstick. She must have in grade 2-3. She asked me if I would like to donate money to a girl named Paige who has a brain tumour and is only in Kindergarten. She wants to go to Disneyland and she was helping to raise money through Make-a-Wish Foundation. She explained on and on. I went to get some money and Kendra ran to her bedroom too and opened her money box. She looked at all the dimes and quarters and then settled on a 5.
"Will this be good, Mommy?"
Of course it will be good, Kendra. I was so proud of my little girl. She is saving for Disneyland herself.
We both ran down and gave it to the girl who had been patiently standing at our front door while we searched the house for money.
Later, I explained to Kendra what a trip to Disneyland might mean to that little girl. She looked quite sad and thoughtful, glad that she could help.
That's my girl!
