TO My Friends The fairys

I found a note today. It was tucked inside a crudely folded envelope of lined paper, once upon a time stuck together with a speck of tape, the tape has fallen away, just the dirty glue remains.

I handed it to the author, my daughter. After what seemed like an eternity, this is what she read to me, with sorrow pulling at the corners of her eyes.

Envelope address : To My friends, The fairys

Note

1. Mum and Dad together
2. A Better home

there are no words that can give justice to her plea as I kneel at the Well of Sorrow, but I feel like I have read something infinitely precious, a bright jewel with an aura that has lit a corner of my soul forever. I have stuck her wanting words upon the walls of my heart with new tape, and have vowed to the fairys that she called upon, to make things better and better and better.
