Had a little neighbor girlfriend when I was little. She was super sweet.
In second grade, on Christmas night, she had a brain aneurysm that paralyzed the right half of her body. She was in the hospital for months. After that, she was allowed home for a day or 2 at a time, but had to go back to rehab centers. I'd get to visit with her for a few minutes, but then she'd get worn out.
The finances got too tough and they ended up having to move out of the house.
