"Oh sweetheart, I'm not going to make fun of you Liz"

"I don't wanna use it!" She cries

"I promise I won't make fun of you Liz"

"Yeah you will" she whimpers quietly "you have pretty legs"

"You do too!"

"No, my legs don't work" she says quietly

"They're still pretty!"

"No, they have scars" she says, making me realize she'd worn leggings even with the princess dress she had used after playing princesses

"I have a scar on my leg too, it's nothing to be embarrassed about"

"Really?"

"Yeah, I have scars too"

"But your legs work" she sniffles

"I pinky promise I won't make fun of you Lizzie, the last thing I want is to hurt your feelings, I'd really like it if you'd used it because I know it helps you"

"It's not pretty, why do you wanna see me use it?"

"Because it's really helpful for you to, and I'd like it if we could be friends"

"You want to be my friend?"

"Yeah I'd really love to- what wrong?" I ask, noticing more tears

"I don't have many friends just my cousins Wyatt and Ellie, and bennie but she's just a baby, and daddy but he doesn't count because he's daddy"

"Well I'm your friend too okay Liz?"

"But I thought you were daddy's friend" she says, making me chuckle, I don't know how long we'll be able to keep up the "just friends" act for her

"We can be friends too" I smile

"Did you know my wheelchair is pink?" She says quietly

"Really? I bet it's gorgeous!" I exclaim, I'd seen it before but she was just telling me about her wheelchair after days of refusing to use it, I couldn't rain on her parade

"It's not very pretty, but it's pink cause that's my favorite color"

"That's one thing you and I have in common, it's my favorite color too!"

"And we like cinnamon rolls!"

"Yeah! You know what else? My favorite food is chicken strips too!"

"But daddy brought you pasta and steak tonight and not chicken strips like me, does he not know you like them?"

"He knows I like them, I just don't think he realizes they're my favorite"

"I'll have to have a serious talk with daddy" she says shaking her head, making me laugh

"You don't have to I'm okay with eating steak" I smile

"Your cinnamon rolls are really delicious"

"Well thank you, but you helped make them remember?"

"They taste like my mommy's, but I can't have mommy's anymore because she's in heaven"

"Oh I'm sorry about that Liz, I bet you miss her huh?"

"Yeah" she says, as tears roll down her little cheeks "do you have a mommy?"

"I do"

"Is your mommy in heaven too?"

"Um no, my mommy's not in heaven"

"That's good, because it's sad when mommies go to heaven"

"I know Lizzie, but if you need anything you can always ask me okay? Pinky promise"
