part one.

    There once was a girl named Emily. Emily had a teddy bear that she adored; she took that bear with her everywhere. The teddy bear was medium in size. It had a pink nose and crystal blue eyes, its’ fur was chestnut brown with lighter paw pads. Emily called her, Teddy; it was Emily’s best friend. Teddy’s been with her through everything.
     When Emily was born she was diagnosed with tuberculosis. She was kept in the Intensive Care Unit till the age of two. Her mom gave Teddy to her the day she was admitted to the I.C.U. Emily is now five years old, her childhood was a difficult one but she fought through it. So far, she has been the only child born with tuberculosis to live past the age of four. She is known as “The Hospital’s Miracle Baby”, as well as her parents miracle baby. Em wants to be like the other kids but it’s hard for her to run around like they do on the playground.
     Emily tried her hardest to fit in, she would run and jump around like the others. Her mother would reprimand her everytime saying, “ Em you can’t run around. You have an illness, you aren’t like every-other kid. You’re special.” Em always took being special as a good thing; that’s all she ever listened to during that speech.
