The Universes Best Girl - Tumblr Posts

Nona was a child.

Whatever else she was, for a short, wonderful time, she was a child who loved her family, and her friends, and her school

She loved dogs, (especially Noodle) and having her hair plaited, and lying on warm tiles, and hugs, and smiles, and graphic T shirts, and swimming in the sea, and all she wanted

Was a birthday party.

And she was going to invite everyone she loved and some people she didn't even, just because she didn't want to leave them out. She was a child, but she was so clever, and so brave, and she wanted a birthday party when she wasn't even a year old because she knew she didn't have much time left, she knew she was dying and she would have to leave everyone and everything she loved far too soon, and she wasn't even afraid.

She just wanted this last day

To spend time with her family

With her friends

For the last time

And she

Didn’t

Get it.
