Fairy

As he saw one girl.

she reminded him of a fairy.

she seemed free.

he asked her out oneday.

she said "come to my house"

he arrived and saw her with a 3 month baby

before he could ask she said"meet my son"

she asked if he was ok

and he said fine

but really he was scared

he liked her he kept telling himself

she has a baby which is no big deal

when really he didn't know if he could take on that kind of responsibility

he took her out to dinner.

one thing led to the next and he proposed.

he helped raise her child like daniel was his own along with their other two children.

one day she went to the doctor and found out she had cancer.

the family was devestated.

one day she past away and the family had a funeral planned.

they were ready because they new she wouldnt be there too much longer.

not just because the doctor said but because maryann, the mother, could tell.

her husband took her out to a romantic dinner the night before she passed on.

at her funeral her hasband looked at her in her casket and said "now you really are a beautiful fairy.
