She had been the delight of children all over the world. With her magic powers she realized the most impossible dreams for many children of any race, creed or color, but she is now over two hundred years old, and she is suffering from all the health maladies associated with being old.
She can’t fly any longer; she is now confined to a wheelchair when she goes out of her house. When indoors, she has to use a walker to help her wander around. She is now afflicted by arthritis, hypertension, and what is worse; she has now developed Parkinson’s disease.
She does not receive any more visitors except for a few birds who bring her food, and a couple of raccoons that help her tidy up the house. She misses children the most, as she reminisces all the miracles that she was allowed to perform for them, and all the happy faces she would generate by her mere presence.
It was time for her to ask the fairy godmother to realize a miracle in order to end her agony. She felt she had fully carried out her mission, she felt she made so many children feel happy, but now she felt sad that she could not do it anymore. So, she prayed for compassion.
The following day when the birds arrived with the daily bread, the old fairy was not home. They found a note on her bed that said: “Sorry I missed you, my fairy godmother has taken me to fairy heaven to be with God. I am happy, and I can fly again. Love you all.”
Your old fairy.
