Vacations aren't about making memories or having new experiences.

The acorn pierced by the point of an arrow

Now I know some of you may have heard this once before, not in real life, but in a fairy tale.

But this doesn’t happen in exactly the way you think it does, there are no fairies, no evil villains like Hook or Mr Smee, nor never growing up (although for our two main characters they may wish it to be true).

Yet how is it that there is always something that goes wrong, even when the hero doesn’t deserve it, whether it be in a fairy tale or real life.

So Ella is only nine years old. She should be in year three at primary school. Notice how I said ‘should?’ She spends most days in the hospital with her mum, but she can’t always be there every second of the day.

Ella is ill, but not in a way that can be cured or left to dwindle and die down after a few days.

Her fate has been decided for her, she has no choice.
