On the 26th of September, many many years ago, a baby girl was born. Her father was a bus driver and her mother had been a telephone operator, but now she was a stay-at-home mom. They named their little girl Lona. She was their only child and they loved her very much. Lona lived in a small town. She loved riding her tricycle, playing with her dolls and spending time in the playhouse her father built for her in the backyard. When she was three years old, she became very sick. Her Mom and Dad took her to the doctor. The doctor sent her to the hospital. She had never been away from her family and Lona was very scared. Her parents got her a private room so they could stay with her. Her mother stayed most of the time. When her dad did not have to work he would stay with Lona at the hospital. One of them was always there. She was never alone.
