The most beautiful girl in the world

Yesterday my life was touched by some1 really special.Some1 i cant get outta my head.My life will never be the same again.Her name was Shalini.It means beautiful in sanskrit.A 12 yr old girl.She came to me house yest wid her parents.Wen she entered my house i cud not take my eyes off her.Then i realised i was being rude.So i tried to act as normal as possible.This girl was suffering frm dwarfism.A condition that forces her to b as tall as a 6 year old.Shes a dwarf born to normal parents just because her mothers gynec gave her an overdose of calcium wen she was pregnant.
Is she bitter?Not at all.She is in the 6th grade.Usually comes in the top 3 in her class.Never stops smiling.Infact she has the prettiest smile i have ever seen.She will not give up.She is fighting.Fighting against this condition.15 days in a month she goes to Bombay for therapy.The doctors are tryin to stretch her legs.They plan to make a gap betn her joints n fill it with metal.After the therapy is over she will b about 4'8'' or so.Im never goin to crib bout bein short again.
' How much does it hurt?' i asked her fellin stupid bout the ques afterwards.'Very much she said.But i dont take pain killers'.Later her mother told me that she stays up the entire night coz of he pain but doesnt take painkillers coz it makes her drowsy in school.
Today morning there was an unexpected calm in my head.Suddenly everything is right.That girl's courage has influenced in a way i cannot explain.Suddenly i kno sumthin good is goin to happen.She will always b in my prayers.Shalini,the most beautiful girl in the world.
