I tip-toed inside, holding her birthday
gift and looked for her in the tiny room. She was leaning against the window, curiously
tracing some passerby on the road far below. Quite painfully, I handed her the small
packet but she cried in joy, just how an eight year old would do. When I saw
her trying the wig excitedly in front of the small bathroom mirror, it made my
heart thump. My child jumped around like a happy kitten and then breathless, bumped
into her bed. I couldn't utter a word and quickly rushed out of the Juvenile
Cancer Ward.
So sad.
