They Do Exist

I never thought fairies were real until I encountered one. It was easy to believe in ghost; after all I grew up with ghosts. Fairies on the other hand were magical creature’s right out of fairy tales. They were in the same group as goblins, elves, unicorns, and dragons. Fairies were merely a wonderful fantasy until one came to visit.
It was a warm summer night with only a very slight breeze. My husband, our daughter who lived next door, and I were sitting on our porch enjoying the peace and quite. There was a lamp on in the living room which cast a dim light onto the porch. I had also lit bug candles to keep the mosquitoes away. I think we all saw the green glow at the same time. I thought at first it was a moon moth but it was not a moth. It was a tiny girl with long flowing blond hair and gossamer wings fluttering behind her back. She was wearing what looked like a pale yellow dress that hugged her body. A bright green glow enveloped her body and her wings. She flew up to the edge of the porch railing just two feet from where we were sitting. She hovered there for about twenty seconds looking right into my face. She then flew up and hovered for a few more seconds before flying away into the trees. We were so stunned and shocked that we just sat mute for a few seconds. We all then started talking at once. After we calmed down my husband went to bed and my daughter went home. I stayed on the porch for two hours hoping the fairy would come back. I sat on that porch every night I could for three years until we moved just waiting for one more chance to see the amazing tiny creature. I have yet to see her again but I still hope and watch. We only live a mile from the old house so maybe one day she will visit us here. I new believe anything is possible. One day I may look into the sky and see a dragon or encounter a goblin in the garden. Magic really does surround us.
