Dragonfly Wings for Emmalee
Stephen Havertz
The cancer was taking its toll on her frail body. Smiling proved difficult on that August morning as she posed with our family for what were to be our last photographs taken together. Suddenly, a dragonfly appeared and hovered directly above her head as she sat in a swing. She giggled. I can feel the wind of its wings on my head. It tickles. A tiny dragonfly lifted her spirits that day. Emmalee’s life and death moved people to action. Her school raised a state record of $6,243.47 in her name for Make-A Wish Foundation. A woman during a Make-A-Wish volunteer training revealed to me, The reason I am here today is because I read her obituary in the paper. I don’t know Emmalee, but reading about her made me want to volunteer. People across the country were amazed when they heard about her courage, wisdom and faith in God. A boy from Australia was so touched by Emmalee that he started volunteering at his local children’s hospital. Her story will strengthen, teach and inspire.
