Dear God {completed}

#21

Dear God,

Jesse and I volunteered at the hospital again today.

The little children gave us a make over and coloured our faces.

The said we weren't allowed to know what we were being turned into.

They turned us into Fiona and Shrek.

We asked them why.

One little girl, Hannah, who suffered from anorexia, told us that we looked like we were in love, and that they wanted us to have a happy ending, just like Fiona and Shrek did.

I told her that I hope she has the
happy ending she's always wanted too and never to give up.

She told me that her happy ending would be when people didn't define her by her illness and she could live a happy life.

I found that admirable. The fact that she doesn't want money or toys or clothes. She just wants to be happy.

I also told her that I would take her to see The Fault In Our Stars one day.

You can hold me to that.

Love,

Mackenzie
