This little girl and her mom were walking along the street when this little one smiled at me. I bent down and said, “What a beautiful smile you have!”

She lowered her head and I said, “What’s wrong?”

“I saw a bird on the street. It got ran over by a car.”

“Oh, I know how that feels. One time I was little I was throwing rocks in a pond and I hit a duck and it died. I cried and cried. Feels yucky I know.”

“Yeah.”

“That’s a beautiful dress, did you tie dye it yourself?”

She shook her head no.

“Well can I take a picture of you in that dress?”

She shook her head yes…
