Once Upon A Time...

...Tinniegirl traveled a long way to Portland, Oregon to visit a very special Little Lady. Tinniegirl and the Little Lady's Daddy had been friends for a long, long time.

The Little Lady lived in a beautiful house

and had a lovely bedroom painted all pink and green.

The Little Lady wasn't like all the other little girls that Tinniegirl knew. This Little Lady had something called Cystic Fibrosis, which made her life pretty different to other normal little girls. The Little Lady had to take lots of pills and do lots of treatments every single day to keep fighting her battle against Cystic Fibrosis. The Little Lady was so strong and wise and full of spirit.

The Little Lady invited Tinniegirl to visit her school

and made beautiful, colourful paintings for her.

They even had a birthday party for the Little Lady's Daddy while Tinniegirl was visiting.

One of the best things the Little Lady and Tinniegirl did together was making a painting.

Full of gorgeous colour and embellishments, Tinniegirl could tell the Little Lady was a very good artist.

Before long it was time for Tinniegirl to make the long trip back to Australia. Tinniegirl had a wonderful visit with her dear friends, and especially loved getting to meet the Little Lady for the first time.
