A Mom and Dad who'd drifted far apart walked by their little daughter's room one night and heard, "I'm hurting right here in my heart! I wish," she told her dolls, "they wouldn't fight and be mean to each other. It's not right!" Before too long those parents, who had prayed, stood holding hands outside their daughter's door. They heard, "Oh, dollies, Mom and Dad have made me happy. They're not fighting anymore. My wishing made them sweeter than before."
