Unfortunately, she has a rare disease which has limited her to a wheel chair. She tries her best to take care of herself in spite of this disadvantage. However, this has not stopped her to going on with her real life with a lot of grace and she doing very well is school.
When she came for her appointment last week, I saw that she had cut her hair very short. So I asked her why did she do that as I always loved seeing her flowing shiny long hair which further beautifies her smile!
Her reply was, " My friend has been diagnosed with cancer and she is loosing hair because of her treatment. I did not want her to be feeling different from other children in the school. So I cut my hair to support her through this tough period."
My eyes filled up and all I could do was a big hug with a my eyes filled up.
Children like Veronica make this world still a very good place to live.
Veronica: Thank you for giving me the opportunity to know you :))))
