FANTASTIC

For two years I worked as a Certified Nurses Assistant at Primary Children's Hospital. I loved this job so much and it was so much fun. My favorite part was being able to spend time with all of the kids. There was one patient in particular that I absolutely loved to be around! This little girl had cancer and spent many months in the hospital so i got to know her really well. Whenever I went in to check on her I would ask her how she was doing and every time without fail she would say, "FANTASTIC"! Part of the definition for fantastic is seemingly impossible; incredible. I was amazed how someone with an incredibly hard life could say that they were fantastic all the time. This girl is amazing to me and I think about her everyday. This made me realize how great and easy life is for me. So I now even when I am having what I think is a horrible day is if someone asks how I am doing I always answer - fantastic. Thanks to this little girl my favorite word will forever be FANTASTIC!

    I love and use this word all the time! After reading your story this brought a whole new meaning to the word. I will think of this story whenever I say the word fantastic.
