LONELY LITTLE GIRL

I have never met the little girl I am writing about.  She lives in a small town in a small senior apartment complex.
She is only three  years old with blond straight hair but she could be any lonely child.   My heart aches for this small child who is living with her mother as she begs for attention from the elderly people living there.  Most of them are nearing ninety years of age and don't want to be bothered by her even for a few minutes.  They have complained to the apartment manager about her.  I can picture her as she goes from door to door ringing the door bell wanting someone to pay attention to her and even  asking for a kiss.  This is not safe for her to do and her Mother should be outside playing with her, there is even a playground across the street.

When I have to listen to stories of something she did she is referred to as 'that little girl' which is sad to me.     Apparently they are all so old and not well that they cannot imagine how a small child must feel as they tell her to go home.  There have been a couple of preschool age boys living there at one time and the one who complains to me thought they were wonderful and would sit outside with them on the bench for a short time.  She still misses them and they did stop by to visit earlier this summer.  But she has not liked 'that little girl' from the day she moved in.  To me this represents my inner child at age three.

Why do the little ones have to suffer?

So I say a prayer for her and send Light to comfort her.  If anyone reads this please send love and Light to Addison.

Ask again, my friend.
