I wake up to a text alert

Hey, not like I need sleep after being up until about 2am last night. No, not at all

"Up and at it Demi". "Yay!NOT

I grumble and roll on my side and pick up my phone up off of the night stand. It's a text from my assistant. It's my schedule for today. It reads: 

1:00pm: Vistiting The Hospital for Sick Children- Cancer Wing

I try to scroll further but I find that's all that I have to do today. 

"this day is going to be very very sad", I say to myself. And immedietely I decide that I'm going to be strong for my little warriors in the cancer wing and be there to put a smile on their adorable little faces and give them a chance to forget about being sick for a little while. 

I once saw this commercial on TV and it was a father talking about his two sons who were both terminally ill and he said "An orginization like Make a Wish is great because it lets the kids just be kids. They grow up too fast when they're sick." 

Those last eight words really stuck with me. That's when I decided to start doing hospital visits and granting kids wishes through Make a Wish. 

That day went on as every day on tour did. I ate my breakfast, did my workout in the hotel gym (sneakily, trying not to be greeted with a mob of crazed fans), went back up to my room and took a shower, had my hair and makup done and got dressed for the day ahead and listened to my manager ramble on about how I "was an insperation to these kids" and how I "needed to be strong for them" ; nothing he hadn't said a million times before. I already knew this but it was stiill great to have a reminder. 

As far as I was concerned, it was just a regular day. 

Little did I know that today I would meet someone who would change my life forever.
