‘Look Mummy, the fairies are back, they are dancing round and round’
She often saw them, all I could see was a ring of mushrooms in the grass but I never told her.
Maria was born poorly, and unable to walk unaided. Often, she’d lean on her window ledge, tapping in rhythm as she sang along with the fairies.
We knew her life would be short, but the end came far sooner than we expected.
This morning when I opened the curtains I saw a ring of fairies dancing round and round, and the prettiest of them all was Maria.

who needs to walk when you can flutter with the fairies.
Beautiful, vivid, simply sweet!
Indeed! Thanks so much, Liz.
Well, old chum, you ventured far from your comfort zone here, and did it beautifully.
Chapeau.
That’s much appreciated. I just wanted to prove to myself I could still be serious if I tried! Did you hear the one about…..
They said it already, one more wouldn’t hurt, ay?
Heartfelt excellence.
Certainly not! Thank you so much, Spira.
Really nice, Keith.

Too sad but at least she is among her friends and fits in well
Indeed she is, thanks, Larry.
Such a bittersweet and beautiful story, Keith. It cuts right to the heart.
Kind of you to say so Jenne, thanks so much.
That’s a hard price to pay to be able to see fairies. And good she can see them now, to know Maria is happy among them. You’ve spun a sad and magical tale.
Such a sad tale, Keith, yet skillfully written. You left us with a smile.
Heart-wrenchingly beautiful! 🧚🏻♀️
