Every time I visited him in one of my princess dresses, I would look at the white walls in wonder. Snow painted walls, who had ever heard of such a thing?

We would play all sorts of games; dance to the beat of the heart monitor, chutes and ladders, Barbie dolls, and horses. But most times we would just watch princess movies. My Papa would always join in with our fun. I was told laughter could always be heard from my Dad's room.

One day when we came to visit, his heart monitor went flat. Dressed as Snow White I begged my Papa to give him a true loves kiss in order for my Dad to be able to wake up. With tears running down his cheeks he gave his husband on last kiss. 

"I don't understand, why didn't he wake up?"I sobbed. It had worked for Aura and Snow White, so why didn't it work for him? Was my ever persisting thought in that moment.
