The Little Girl and the Biker
The Little Girl and the Biker
Alone she sat with the host on a stage in a television studio. Eight year old Karlie was in a room filled with strangers but showed no fear. She had so much more to fear as darkness was about to fill her world, but even that did not shake her. Karlie has a degenerative eye disease and soon her vision will be gone forever. Her mother’s death left her and her father alone in life.
She’s sweet, soft spoken and a very shy little one in a blue print dress, and shiny shoes. Blonde hair and freckles adorn her nose that supports a thick pair of glasses. She talks to the host about her Daddy and how well he cares for her. It’s obvious she is loved witnessed by her manners and appearance.
She is going blind. She is well aware that her Daddy will fade from sight. She is there that day to ask for a makeover for her father. Karlie’s Daddy is a biker. They summon her father to join them on the stage. The curtain moves to reveal a tall man wearing a well-worn pair of jeans, boots and a black leather vest. His beard touches his chest, tattoos cover his arms and his hair is a long tumble of wavy blonde hair. He is every bit the stereo-typical “biker”. His smile broadens as he nears Karlie, comes to rest by her side and hugs her.
Karlie has never seen her Daddy look any other way. His tradesman vocation affords him the freedom to a relaxed appearance. Karlie wishes for a view of her father in a more traditional style. She has come to ask for a makeover for her Dad. He is hesitant and a bit timid that he may suffer ridicule from associates and buddies, but Karlie’s request fades all hesitancies.
Off he is taken for his new look. The time spent during his transformation fades away and he stands behind a curtain once more awaiting his daughter’s reaction. Foremost is the knowledge that his little girl will soon live in darkness for the remainder of her days. No price is too high for the sight of her smile for this crusty biker. The curtain is once more moved to reveal a tall suited and well groomed executive looking man. He looks as if he just stepped from a corporate board room. All that fades as you see the amazement on the face of a sweet little girl who sees her Dad for the very first time without the long hair, beard and biker regalia. It was the princess seeing her Prince Charming for the very first time. His smile was just as broad as before but her smile lit up the room.
They were taken by limousine to a swanky NY restaurant for a very special “biker – daughter” luncheon and for a little girl to learn from her Prince Charming about sacrifice and the power of love.
