Act 1

The unknown recipient of Act 1.
Today we are in the middle of our first snow storm of the season, and boy, is it yucky out there!  Perfect day to try those new sweet potato curly fries at Burger King.  (Drive through, of course!)  Upon pulling up to the window, I told the cashier that I also wanted to pay for the person's order behind me.  This act is dedicated to Charlotte Bacon, age 6.

Charlotte loved animals and the color pink.  Charlotte was the little girl who begged to wear her new pink dress and boots to school the day of the shooting, which were supposed to be for Christmas.  But her mother relented, and little red-headed, bubbly Charlotte wore them to school that day.

  1. Such a beautiful idea.I hadn't even heard about this until you posted it on Facebook. I have my 26 acts cap on now, and am already thinking about ways in which I can participate.

  2. What a wonderful idea! That story had tugged at me when I read about her with her dress, as my niece was begging to wear her new one on Christmas (but it is for Sat for the Nutcracker...) All the best to you in 2013!

    1. It was a heart tugger for sure. I cried the first time I read of Charlotte's story, as I still frequently "save things" for that "special" occasion. Life is too short for that....
