She told me that she had diabetes, then she said how much she liked my earrings. The earrings were diamond and emerald and a gift from a fan, but this little girl was so sweet and lovely, and I felt so sorry about her illness, that I took them off and gave them to her. I can still picture the look of amazement on her face. I still think about her and wonder how she is, particularly after I sang at the Carousel of Hope concert in Los Angeles, which was to raise money for kids with diabetes. The fact that she had so much fun while working so hard to get things so perfect and still took in all the cute things for storytelling later will boggle the reader's mind.
Life is made up of building blocks.
Each block makes way for the next block. Because of this there is something positive to be gained from everything you do. Just be true to yourself and be prepared to work hard. And then there's this gem. Try imagining anyone but Charlotte telling this.
