"How excited are you to be getting out of the hospital for a little bit to-night?" Jemma, my won-derful older sister by one year, smiled and asked, as she helped me into my black legg-ings, and pulled the silver spa-ghetti strapp-ed, shimm-ery, eleganbaby doll top over my head."I am definite-ly excited!" I piped. "It has been a while since I have been out of here, at school, and dancingon stage with you!""I'm excited, too!" Jemma piped. Giving me a thought-ful look and smile, she contin-ued, "Thank you so much for dancing with the team and me on stage tonight. It means the world to us, as well as definite-ly to me.""It is truly my pleas-ure." I smiled back. After I wrapped my shimm-ery, black head wrap around my head, and put on my black ballet flats, Jemma and I made our way out of my hospital room.
