I remember the dress from about 2 years ago, it was a pretty pink dress with white flower print, it was lined with net underneath to make it frill out. It came in a box of clothes donated from the states to the Lorato House Rescue Center.
I remember the day clearly when the Caregivers put it on Olesego for the first time, to wear to church.
It was way to big and reached the floor. But Olesego didn't mind. She was smiling from ear to ear and felt beautiful from head to toe...
Well, this weekend the dress reappeared as we were preparing for church.
This time it was way to tight, wrinkled, faded, stained and missing all the buttons in the back except for the one at the very top (this is how she still fit in it). First of all, to see it again, flooded my heart with emotions tied to wonderful memories.
But for Olesego she wore it so proudly, she was smiling form ear to ear and felt beautiful from head to toe as she did a turn about to see it frill out.
