"Push me higher Daddy!"

As the sun streams through the bright blue sky scattered with huge white fluffy clouds, the swing in the park silently hangs from its metal frame, awaiting the attention of an innocent child.

The little girl runs excitedly over to the swing, looking back with her big blue eyes and curly blonde hair blowing freely in the gentle breeze, at her adoring father who is several paces behind.

And as she climbs up onto the weathered seat, she squeals excitedly “Push me Daddy. Push me.”

The little girl’s doting dad lovingly grants her request and pushes her. The smile on the little girls face brightens the day even more as her squeals of delight fill the air.

“Push me higher Daddy! Push me higher!”

And once again the little girl’s dad grants her request and pushes her higher into the sky, laughing and joking about the possibility of her flying off into the clouds with the birds.

As the swing is pushed higher into the air, she feels weightless and carefree, totally uninhibited, with not a care in the world. Nothing can stop her feeling of euphoria. She is floating in mid air, flying up to the clouds, looking down onto the world in a surreal dream. She feels the breeze blowing effortlessly through her hair and arches her body, leaning back on the swing to soak in the dizzy feeling created by closing her eyes.

And without warning the little girl cries out to her dad .....

“Stop. I want to get off. I've had enough.”
