- Who's to say what's fair or not fair?

Why the good die young and others live long lives?

Many believe that there is a higher power at work,

aware of our every thought, joy and sorrow.

Yet, others believe that life ends at the grave.

But in there lays the beauty of it all. We get to choose.

We all have a great purpose,

but some have that extra something.

That sparkle in their eye, that magic in their soul

that touches every heart they come in contact with.

Take Lucy Shimmers, for example.

She's one of those rare ones indeed.

Some may even call her an old soul.

- You're the princess, but I'm gonna win!

Yeah?

You okay?

What do you see?

- Where? I don't see anybody.

- Grandpa Jackson, I can see him.

Honey.

He died last summer.

He's in heaven, you know that.

- But I see him! He's right there.

No one's there.

- Yes, he is. I can see him.

- Let's get you inside.

I'm gonna take you to the doctor

first thing tomorrow morning.

- Okay, Mommy.

- I'm gonna go check on somethin'.

- Dinner's almost ready. - I'll be right back.

- Hey, I made your favorite.

Mac and cheese.

- No, thank you, Mommy. I'm just tired.

Then you can take a bath and go straight to bed.

- Okay, Mommy.

Couple bites and that's it.

- Mommy, is Christmas almost here?

- It's coming soon.

Today's December 1st.

We have 24 more sleeps until Christmas.

- Good, that means I have time to finish my book.

It has lots of pictures.

Oh, and there's a sad man in my dreams.

- I don't know his name but I'm pretty sure he was sad.

Okay, well, let me know how I can help, okay?

- Okay, Mommy.

Mommy, can I mark the days on the chalkboard?

- Sure, that'll be your job.

That's two? - That's right.

Good job.

- Hi, princess.

- Hi, Daddy.

- You're supposed to be in bed.

What you doin', hm?

- Oh, what're you drawin'?

- Yeah, 'cause he brings peace in our hearts.

- That's right.

Who else are you drawing?

- There's a sad man in my book.

- So, me and Jesus will be his friend.

Well, I'm sure that will make him really happy.

Hey, look at me.

I'm very proud of you, okay?

- Okay, let's get you to sleep.

You're sick and we need you to feel better, okay?

- Okay. Goodnight, Daddy.

I love you.

- No, me more. - No, me more.

- No, me more.

- Me more! - Okay, okay, fine, fine.

Let's go to sleep, okay?

- All right, I love you.

- Hey, Grandpa. - Hi, princess.

What're you doing?

- I'm working on my book.

Do you mind if I stay in your room for a while?

I promise I'll be real quiet.

- I don't mind. I like you in here, it makes me happy.

- Me too, princess.

Me too.

- We're best friends. Right, Grandpa?

- That's right.

We are, we're very best friends.

- Grandpa? I'm not feeling very good.

Why don't you close your eyes and get some sleep now?

- Please don't leave, Grandpa.

- I won't.

I promise, I'll be right here.

- Okay.

- Goodnight, princess.

I love you.

- It's like she actually saw him.

Like she actually believed it.

- Yeah, tell me about it.

She's also taking this book that she's writing

really seriously.

She even showed me a picture of him, but,

I don't recognize who he is.

- We've been blessed with a beautiful little girl.

I'm worried about her.

The doctor will figure everything out tomorrow.

I'm sure it's just a cold.

Everything will be okay.

Just get some rest.

I love you.

There's nothing more we can do for him here.

and get on dialysis right away.

He'll be put on a transplant list.

He needs a new kidney or he won't make it.

You need to hear the truth, Edgar.

- I don't care if I die.

It's the only way out.

- With a transplant, you've got a lot of life ahead of you.

You only have a few more years on your sentence.

- There's no point saving me.

Get a true second chance.

You can have mine.

Take it.

- It's not for me, Pastor.

I'm sure I'm getting exactly what I deserve.

- If you're getting what you deserve,

I know you believe in God.

He can make miracles in the most unforgiving places.

- Looks like I'm out of time for second chances.

But there is hope.

If you'd read the Bible,

you'd see that Jesus is telling us that his forgiveness

and his mercy are available to all who want it.

He's the only one you need to impress.

- I'm not interested!

- I believe in you, Edgar.

I'm gonna talk to the warden,

and suggest that he sign off on you leaving here

and going to a hospital that can help.

Have faith.

You've got nothing to lose.

- I can't think of that now.

I don't wanna talk about it anymore.

You need to save your strength.

Go talk to the warden.

See if we can started on the paperwork.

Let's go.

- What're you starin' at?

- Well, hopefully it's more sooner than later.

- Is your teddy sick? Does she need a checkup?

- Yeah, she's breathing a little bit hard a little bit.

- Okay, let me check her out.

- You're welcome.

All the ants are in her bones.

They're bothering her right now.

She hasn't eat a lot of fluids and little water.

She didn't take a lot of water, a little bit.

- She's doing good, she'll be okay.

You're taking good care of her.

- Is anything wrong in her?

- Nope, she's doing just fine, sweetheart.

So, I reviewed her x-rays and she definitely has pneumonia.

- Well, it can be serious if not treated,

but we'll get her started on an antibiotic right away,

and she should start to feel better in a few days.

Make sure she gets plenty of rest

and drinks a lot of fluids.

- You too, Teddy.

Don't worry, Mommy, I'll be better.

- Yeah, you will.

- You're a bright star, Lucy. Aren't you?

- Yes, I am.

My mommy and daddy think so.

- I have no doubt. Let's get you feeling better.

- Okay. Oh, no, it turned pink.

- Here's her prescription.

Make sure she takes all of her antibiotics,

and if she's not feeling better in a few days,

bring her back in, or if she's getting worse,

take her to the ER.

- You're welcome.

Bye, Lucy. It was good to see you again.

- Bye, Dr. Miller.

- We'll go get you some medicine, okay?

That's the house we raised you kids in.

You know, your father and I bought that house

after we first got married, so why wouldn't he

wanna be surrounded by all those great memories?

- I know, Mom, but she didn't actually see him.

- You know, kids are very intuitive.

And Lucy...

Lucy's always been extra special.

Besides, you know how much your father adored her.

They were like two peas in a pod.

You know, she's mostly around adults, so she is,

she's a lot more grown up than most kids her age.

- Just doesn't make any sense.

You know how much your father loved the holidays.

Especially Christmas.

- I just think it's her over-exaggerated imagination.

- You know, I like the idea

that her grandpa would appear to her.

It makes me feel like he's closer to us than we know.

I sure do miss him.

- I know, Mom.

So do I.

I better go.

Please, let me know,

as soon as you hear anything from the doctor.

- I will.

Love you.

Bye.

- All right, let's go.

Move it.

Fine, we can play that way. No problem.

- Hey, no need for that.

Come on, Edgar.

Don't make this any harder than it has to be.

Give the man some room.

- I'm not sittin' in that stupid thing.

I signed off on this because you deserve

a second chance, Edgar.

- I've always found the answers to the questions

I was looking for in this book.

I hope you decide to read it.

And I'll be back to visit.

Count on that.

- You'll be leaving here in a body bag.

- Well, it looks like we're good.

I'll have an armed guard stationed here 24/7.

You shouldn't have any problems.

- We'll do our best to take care of him,

but in his condition and the fact that he's a convict,

puts him way down on the transplant list.

The likelihood of him finding a donor is slim.

- I'm aware of that, but we still follow

the procedure of saving lives.

Those cuffs are not to come off and the only time he's to

leave this room is when he goes to his dialysis treatments.

- He won't leave our sight, and if he tries,

he won't get very far.

Only in extreme circumstances are you to draw your weapon.

Understood?

- I'm gonna have you work swing shift,

so you just as well stay.

- Yes, sir.

- I'm gonna have you work graveyards.

- No problem, sir.

- Well, we need to get back.

Good day.

- Thank you, gentlemen.

If you need anything, let me know.

- Will do.

- Okay, baby, let's take some medicine. Ready?

- No, Daddy, I don't wanna take that.

That tastes disgusting.

- Lucy, you need to stop giving me a hard time because

you need to take your medicine so you start feeling better.

- Now he knows how I felt.

Your daddy used to do the same thing to me

when he was little.

- Lucy, what're you laughin' at?

when you was little.

- Lucy, no one's there. Okay?

So, stop making up stories.

Fine, Daddy. You don't have to believe me.

- What's going on in here?

- This little girl isn't taking her medicine.

Here.

Open up.

See?

Wasn't so hard.

- Well, when I get out of the shower,

it's time for you to go to bed, okay?

Okay?

- Okay. So now you're gonna be nice to me, huh?

- Mm-hm!

Yep!

- Okay, I'll be back.

- Goodnight, Daddy.

- Goodnight, pretty.

- Lucy. I made you some dinner.

Chicken soup.

- No, Mommy. I'm not hungry.

- Please, Lucy?

You need to eat, just a few bites.

- Okay, Mommy.

- Good girl.

Lucy, who're you blowing a kiss to?

Can you see Grandpa?

You can dip it in the soup. - Yep, it's yummy.

- Yeah.

- Where are we going, Mommy?

- I'd like to get a chest x-ray

to see if her pneumonia has progressed.

We'll also need to draw some blood work as well.

And she seems to be dehydrated,

so I'm gonna have the nurses start some IV fluids.

we can determine her treatment.

We'll do our best to take care of her.

Thank you, Doctor.

- Sweet girl, I'm sorry you're not feeling well.

Daddy and I will be with you until you're better.

- How you feelin'?

- Oh, we'll get you all feelin' better, okay?

- I don't recognize him. Who is he?

- I don't know but I think he needs help.

- Do you see Grandpa now, Daddy?

- No, 'cause he's not there.

- Why won't you believe me?

I believe you.

- No, you don't, but you will.

I love you, Daddy.

- Her fever's down and the IV helped,

but I still have some concerns.

in Dr. Miller's office and her pneumonia has progressed.

At this point, she needs to be admitted to the hospital

for IV antibiotics and close observation.

- At least a few days, but it really depends

on how she responds to the antibiotic course.

I realize how difficult this is for you and your husband.

We're gonna do everything in our power

to get her through this.

- I drove through the night

to get here as fast as I could.

How is she doing?

You know I'm not going anywhere.

You just let me know whatever I can do to help.

- Really glad you're here, Mom.

- Me too, Grandma.

- That's what grandmas are for!

And I will be here as long as you need me.

- Okay, Grandma.

Stop!

- Keep moving.

- See, Daddy?

That's the sad man I was telling you about in my dreams.

I told you he needs help.

- That's nice, honey. You're a really good artist.

But I don't think that's him.

- I don't know, I think it looks a lot like him.

- Okay, enough with all the dreams and seeing ghosts, okay?

- Yes, baby?

- That's actually very funny.

- Let's go.

- You doin' okay, Lucy?

- Doesn't hurt very much.

- No? Well, that's good.

You are very brave.

- You're welcome.

Dr. Stanswick should be here this afternoon

to check her out.

Let me know if you need anything.

- I will, thank you.

- Hey, you are very brave.

I'll be right back.

Excuse me.

with the guy that was handcuffed to his wheelchair?

- Oh, he's a prisoner.

He's here because his kidneys are failing.

- Well, why isn't he in a prison hospital?

or required medical equipment.

He's on a transplant list.

- Okay, should I be concerned?

- No, he's guarded 24 hours a day.

You have nothing to be worried about.

He's very sick, he can barely walk.

But we can find you another room on another floor

when something opens up, if you'd like.

Right now we're just all filled up.

- No, that's okay. I was just curious.

Thank you.

- No problem. I'm here if you need me.

- I'm sorry I can't be there to cheer you up, peanut!

I just got my old hip replaced,

and I'm just not very good at walking yet.

Otherwise, I'd be on an airplane and come see you.

- It's okay, Grandpa.

I know you'd be here if you could.

We can stay in touch on Facetime.

I love seeing your happy face.

- Okay, Grandpa. Bye, I love you.

- I love you too!

- Your dad wants to talk to you.

- Hi, Dad.

- We'll be in touch.

Bye now.

- Yeah, why is everybody so sad?

I have strawberry ice cream!

- Mm!

Strawberry ice cream, my favorite.

your Grandpa Jackson's favorite.

- Yeah, thank you.

- You're very welcome.

I can have some extra blankets and pillows brought in,

just in case you wanna stay the night.

- That'd be great.

Just buzz if you need me.

- Thank you.

- This is fun!

- 'Cause I am. - I know.

I could just gobble you right up, you are the best girl.

- Sounds like a party in here.

- It is a party! It's an ice cream party.

Want some? - Oh, I'm okay, but thank you.

- My name is Lucy Shimmers, I'm five years old.

- Nice to meet you, Lucy. I'm Dr. Stanswick.

I'll be taking care of you

while you're here at the hospital.

- Cool, how old are you?

- Lucy, that's not polite to ask people their age.

Only children. - It's okay, really.

Lucy, I'm in my 40s.

45, to be exact.

- That's really old.

- Yeah, it is.

So, how are you feeling today?

- Got ya.

- That's a pretty bad cough you have there.

- Well, I have some more medicine I want you to take.

Hopefully it will start to make you feel better.

- Good, 'cause everybody's worried about me.

To the moon and back.

- That's a lot.

You are a very lucky little girl.

- I am!

- Yeah, sure.

- Lucy, I'll be back to check on you every day.

- Lucy, the pleasure's been all mine.

That's a very special little girl you have in there.

- We think so, thank you.

Lucy's white blood cell count came back elevated,

which suggests a significant bacterial infection.

It's important that we treat her with IV antibiotics

because if the bacteria gets into her bloodstream,

it can be very dangerous and lead to septic shock.

- It's a reaction to the infection in the blood

which can be life-threatening.

- I'm sorry to worry you. That's the worst-case scenario.

Hopefully it won't come to that and the antibiotics

and other treatments will help.

I can sense your concern, but don't worry.

Lucy is in good hands.

If there's anything you need at all, please let us know.

You can go, I'll take it from here.

Have a good night. - You too, Wally.

What're you hiding?

Contraband is not allowed.

Don't make me ask you again.

What's in your pocket?

Aww.

Isn't that cute?

Is this your family?

Well, too bad you're not gonna ever see 'em again,

but I don't see a problem with you keeping it.

- How are you feeling, Lucy?

- Oh, I bet.

Hopefully these new antibiotics will start working,

and you'll get to feeling better in a few days.

- Okay, thank you. - Oh, you're very welcome.

- It's been a long day.

I think it's time for this little princess to go to sleep.

I'll stay the night.

You girls go home and get some rest.

- No, I can stay.

- I can stay, too.

- It's okay, I got it.

We'll take turns.

- Okay, call if anything changes?

You stay with Daddy.

I'll be back first thing in the morning.

I love you.

- Goodnight, sleep tight.

Don't let the bed bugs bite.

Love you.

It's a bite.

Should we say a prayer?

- I'll say it.

Lean forward.

Lean forward.

Okay.

- Heavenly father, thank you for this day.

Please, thank you for my family.

And my mommy.

And we'll bless the sad man in my dreams.

And help me to get better.

And in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

- Okay, now go to bed, Daddy.

- What're you up to, huh?

- Nothing, Daddy.

I'm just tired and so are you.

- Yes, you are.

I love you, angel. - I love you too, Daddy.

And you too, bear.

- Come on. Come on, come on.

Come on.

Dang it!

- Well, hi there.

- My name is Lucy Shimmers, I'm five years old.

What's your name?

And it makes me sad sometimes.

- Don't worry, Jesus loves you.

- I'll try to remember that.

Thank you.

Bye, Bart!

- Hi, Grandpa.

- Hi, princess.

Where are you going?

We're not friends yet, but we will be.

Well, I think I know which friend you're talking about.

Do you mind if I tag along?

Grandpa?

Because angels have a special strength

to give to those who believe.

Grandpa?

Can you make me all better?

Everything's gonna be okay.

Do you believe me?

- Good, because you have a special work to do.

Are you ready?

- Yep!

Now, you're gonna have to sneak past that guard over there

to get into the room, so we're gonna go down by the door,

and on the count of three,

I'm going to turn on the fire alarm.

Are you ready?

- Let's go.

Two.

Three.

- Hi, I'm Lucy Shimmers. I'm five years old.

What's your name?

- How'd you get in here, kid?

- Hey, Luther. What're you doing?

You know you can't open up this door

without setting off the alarm.

You're gonna wake up the other patients.

- Yeah, I didn't touch it. It just went off.

- Someone had to have touched it.

- Well, it wasn't me.

- You don't wanna be my friend.

- Sure I do. You're sad.

I saw you in my dream.

- It sure wasn't me.

- Yes, it was. I sawed you.

Jesus showed me your face.

- Well, I don't want friends and I don't believe in Jesus.

- You're the little girl I saw in the hallway earlier.

- Yep, sure was me.

I'm writing a book and you're in it.

- You don't even know me.

Why don't you just leave and go back to where you came from?

- Okay, but I'll see you tomorrow.

First we will start with the three wise men.

- I'm gonna be taking off for the day,

so if you do need to go through this door,

then please alert the nurse's station, okay?

They'll let you through just fine, okay?

- Don't even know me.

Why don't you just leave me alone

and go back to where you came from?

- Okay.

See you tomorrow.

- No, you won't, 'cause you're not coming back.

- Yes, I will.

You're losin' it, man. Talking to yourself.

Not another word out of you.

- Good teamwork, Grandpa.

Now, you need to get some sleep.

- Okay, Grandpa. Goodnight.

- Goodnight, princess.

- I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

Now I can count all the days until Christmas.

- Well, hopefully you'll be home by then.

- Don't worry, Mommy, I will.

- Lucy!

Come on, Lucy, breathe!

Lucy, breathe!

- What's happening? - Lucy, breathe.

I don't know! Lucy, breathe!

- I'll go get the nurse! - Hurry, go!

Lucy!

Lucy, breathe.

Lucy, breathe!

Lucy, help!

Lucy!

- Nurse!

Nurse! - How can I help you, ma'am?

- It's Lucy Shimmers, she's having a hard time breathing.

- Okay, I'm on it.

Dr. Stanswick, room 202. Dr. Stanswick, room 202, stat.

- Help! Hurry, she can't breathe!

- All right, Lucy. All right, here we go.

You're okay, there you go.

You're okay.

You're okay, deep breaths.

There you go, you're okay.

- What's going on? - You're here.

- She's having a hard time breathing, but we've started her

on oxygen and Dr. Stanswick is on her way.

- We just paged her, she will be here momentarily.

- Breathe, baby, breathe.

Good.

Very good, there you go.

- Seems like she's more stable now.

Let's transition her to a nasal cannula.

- Hey, sounds like you had a little scare.

Are you feeling a little better?

Hm?

The bacteria in her lungs is causing some inflammation

which is making it hard for oxygen to reach the blood.

That's why she's having a hard time breathing.

Lucy, I'd like to listen to your lungs if it's okay?

Can you sit up for me?

Oh, thank you.

Okay, deep breath, ready?

Good job, one more.

Okay.

- Don't take that off.

- Well, her exam hasn't improved

and she still has crackles in her lungs.

I've reviewed her latest blood test

and her white blood cell count continues to be elevated.

- It means that's she not responding

to the antibiotics we've been giving her.

I've consulted with an infectious disease specialist

and we're going to start Lucy on two new antibiotics

to help her with her infection.

Lucy, do you mind if we get another x-ray?

Oh, please?

I know this isn't easy for you, but we're gonna do

our very best to help you get better, okay?

Okay. - Thank you, Doctor.

- You're welcome.

- They're gonna start you on new medicine, okay?

- We love you, we're not leaving your side.

We'll get through this.

- Stop, please, Daddy.

Hi.

I got acterial ammonia.

What's wrong with you?

- My kidneys don't work, I need new ones.

- Someone has to give me one,

or I'm not gonna live very long.

- Yes, two.

Why?

- That's not how it works, sweetheart.

Take care.

Hey.

I don't want you talking to him, okay?

- Because, I said so.

He might be dangerous.

- I think he's nice, he has tattoos like you.

- That doesn't matter.

Tattoos don't make you good or bad.

You don't know him.

- Jesus loves him, why can't we?

- Just mind me, please?

- Yes, Daddy.

- Okay, sweetie.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Love you.

- Let's let your bear listen too.

Oh, I like this one. She looks just like you.

"- Yeah, ""Sweet Child of Mine."

I love you in the morning, at the start of every day.

I love you in the evening when the sunshine...

I love you when the wind is still.

"I love you in the summer sun."""

- Hello, princess.

- Hi.

- That's a very pretty picture.

- I don't think you'll be needing this for a while.

Do you remember why?

- 'Cause angels have power and I believe.

- That's right.

Get your things and let's go, okay?

- Hi, Bart!

- Hey there, Lucy, how are you doing tonight?

Do you see my grandpa?

Is your grandpa here at the hospital tonight?

- Nevermind. Here's a picture I drew for you.

It's a picture of Jesus.

Don't worry, you'll see your wife again.

I love it.

- You're welcome, Bart. Bye, Bart.

Tell me when to go.

- Yes, you did.

You kept your word.

- You never told me your name,

so we're still strangers.

Edgar.

- That's a cool name. Is your tummy better?

- It's not my tummy, it's my kidneys.

They're behind my tummy, sort of.

- Oh, I'm sick in my chest where I breathe.

- That's okay, I think we both will get better.

Who's in that picture you was looking last night?

Can I see, please?

Why is it all torn in half?

- I don't like him very much.

- We're supposed to love everyone like Jesus do

and supposed to love the means too?

- I don't know.

I lost them.

- I did some very bad things,

and they don't wanna talk to me anymore.

Maybe they'll forgive you.

- I don't think so, and it's been a long time.

- They will, when you just believe.

I'm Lucy Shimmers, I'm five years old.

- I've never met anyone like you.

- I've never met anybody like you.

Are we friends?

Where are your parents?

and my daddy is going to be home tonight.

- Why are you wanderin' around?

You're sick, you should stay in bed.

- I'm strong when my grandpa's around.

He's an angel right now.

See over there?

Do you see him?

- No, but I'm sure you do.

- Yep, I can.

Where's your Bible?

- It's right here, why?

- I want you to read it to me, so you can learn about Jesus.

My favorite story is Matthew chapter two.

My daddy reads it to me during Christmas.

Please?

Thank you.

"- ""Now Jesus was born" in Bethlehem in Judea,

in the days of Herod, the king.

Behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

saying 'where is he that is born King of the Jews?

For we have seen his star in the east,

and have come to worship him.'

When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled,

and all Jerusalem with him.

And when he had gathered all the chiefs, priests,

and the scribes of the people together,

he demanded of them where "the Messiah should be born."""

- Do you know that's a name for Jesus?

"And when they come into the house, they saw the young child

with Mary, his mother, and fell down and worshiped him.

And when they had opened their treasures,

they presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and mir.

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken

of the Lord by the prophet saying,

'out of Egypt have I called my son.'"

I think that's enough for tonight.

- Okay, but I'll come back tomorrow.

- I don't think that's a good idea. You're sick.

- I'm okay, my grandpa will be with me.

- Goodnight, Lucy.

- Goodnight, Edgar.

Thank you.

- You're welcome.

Hi.

- Well, hi.

What are you doing?

I gotta get some sleep.

- I'm Lucy Shimmers, I'm five years old.

- Oh, for heaven sakes.

Well, my name is Betty Darcy and I am 70 years old.

That's pretty old, isn't it?

- Yeah, it is old. I know, it's so old.

- Did you know that's a Christmas tree?

- Yeah, Christmas.

Jesus was born on Christmas.

He loves you.

- I think you're right, he does,

and did you know that he loves you too?

Do you see my grandpa?

Hi, Grandpa.

- Yep, I do. I'll come back to visit later.

Goodnight, Betty Darcy.

- Goodnight, Lucy Shimmers.

- I don't feel good, Grandpa.

Now, close your eyes.

And you'll see me in the morning.

- Okay, Grandpa.

- Goodnight, princess.

- Goodnight, Grandpa.

To the moon and back.

- Dear father, thank you for this day.

Stop, please.

- Sure, Lucy. What is it?

- I just wanna go down there, can you take me down there?

- I'm glad you're here.

I know it's been a long journey.

Tianna hasn't seen her dad in a really long time.

- It'll be a wonderful surprise.

He doesn't know you're coming.

I'm gonna go in first,

and then I'll open the door for you to come in, okay?

- Okay, yeah.

Edgar.

- Oh, hey, Pastor Johnson.

I see you've finally took me up on reading the Bible.

- That's all God asks of us.

- Works in mysterious ways, doesn't he?

And miracles do happen.

There's someone here to see you.

- Hi, Dad.

- I'll give you time to be alone.

- Thank you, I'm sorry.

Let me look at you.

I'm sorry. - It's okay.

- I'm so sorry.

It's all about healing and second chances.

You're a good pastor.

- And you're a good man, Wally.

I'll see you later.

What's goin' on?

- Edgar's family came to go visit him.

Jesus answered our prayers.

- What, baby?

- I know you're a grownup,

but there are some things you don't know.

But you will.

I'll be by your side and I'll love you forever.

- I'll love you forever too.

- Here's my Christmas present for Edgar.

I wrote it down.

"- ""I want to..."

Give my friend Edgar "one of my kidneys."""

You're so sweet and loving, Lucy.

You truly are one of a kind, but this isn't something

I can do without your parents' permission.

- Please, Daddy?

- 'Cause I don't want my friend Edgar to die.

- Can a child's kidneys even function properly in an adult?

- Yes, it's been done successfully many times,

and she has the right blood type.

- Please, Daddy?

- Okay, honey.

Okay, we'll think about it.

- Pinky promise.

- Thank you, Daddy.

All finished with my book, Mommy.

- I'm so proud of you, sweetheart. Who's it for?

But I'm not feeling good, Daddy.

Can you take me?

- You mean you've been sneaking out

in the middle of the night to go see him?

My grandpa takes me.

- Okay, honey. I'll take you.

- Will you hold me, Daddy?

Come here.

- Good girl, it's right there.

- Here's your Christmas chalkboard. Merry Christmas.

- Good job.

- We made cookies,

and some eggnog for Santa.

- Oh, I'm sure he'll love it.

- Yeah, I know.

I'm ready now, Daddy.

Bye.

- Let's take this off.

- Stop, please, Daddy.

Bye, Betty.

- Goodbye, little one.

- You know her?

- That's Betty. She's my friend.

Hi, Bart.

- Hi, Lucy.

- Yeah, he's my friend.

Wait, Daddy.

- Yeah, he's my friend.

Daddy.

Grandpa, he's right there.

He's gonna make the alarm go on.

Do you see him?

- Luther, again, seriously?

- Come on, Max, I haven't touched this.

- Hi, Edgar. This is my daddy.

- I'm James.

Nice to officially meet you, sir.

She's changed my life.

They came.

My family came to visit me, Lucy.

You knew.

Thank you, Lucy Shimmers.

- You're welcome, Edgar.

Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- What's this?

I drawed it for you.

I had a dream of a sad man with tattoos.

Jesus told me you needed help, and then I saw you.

I told you Jesus loves you.

Are you okay?

I can't breathe really well.

My whole family is staying with me for Christmas.

- Oh, that's wonderful.

My family's coming to visit me again too.

- Something is seriously wrong with this place.

- Okay, well, over at the nurse's station,

we've a bit of an information desk.

You know, nothing regarding-

- Stop, Daddy.

- But we do have some therapists

that we could refer you to if-

- I don't need therapy.

Maybe you just need to relax a little bit, sit down,

get some water in you, eat some fruit or something.

- Hey, Edgar.

Here's a key.

- What's this for?

- But I'm not sure what else you would need

from me, as far as-

- I don't need anything from you.

This just keeps going off, I don't want it to go off.

I just wanna sit on my chair, play my game while

the night passes and not have to deal with other people.

- Okay, well then please just do that. Don't touch the door.

- I haven't touched the door.

I'll see you later, okay?

But this place is more like a psych ward than a hospital.

- Can they do somethin'?

- I'll go get the nurse.

I love you, Lucy girl.

- Daddy, can you tell me a story?

- Yeah.

One time,

there was a beautiful little girl.

The most beautiful princess of all.

She was loved and adored by her mommy and daddy.

And when she came into the world,

she changed their lives forever.

- Don't cry, Daddy.

- I love you too.

Lucy Shimmers and the Prince of Peace.

Mom and Dad and I.

I had a dream.

Of a sad man.

Jesus wanted to help him.

One day, I was playing.

But I got sick.

Jesus loves everybody.

Jesus gave you his love.

I want to give you my kidney.

So you can be with your family.

Now it's your turn to draw.

Again.

Please, God.

We're connected, all of us.

God's plan is truly marvelous.

We just have to believe.

Her heart may have stopped, but Lucy's other organs

were perfectly healthy and were donated.

And yes, Edgar did receive one of her kidneys,

according to her wish.

While we weep here on Earth, others celebrate in heaven.

But God has a special way of healing all broken things.

Edgar kept the faith and got that second chance

he so desperately needed.

He was eventually released from prison,

reunited with his family, and never looked back.

They never forgot about Lucy.

How could they?

♪ For Christmas ♪

- They look back with gratitude and fond memories

each and every Christmas and read both the story of the

three wise men from the Bible, and of course, Lucy's Book.

"- ""And the Prince of Peace."

One day, I was playing.

"But I got sick."""

- And I bet you're wondering

what happened to Lucy's family.

Rest assured that God didn't forget about them.

- They were blessed with a beautiful boy.

James Junior.

- Good job, James.

Yes!

- They always kept Lucy's memory

close to their hearts and knew that someday

they'd all be together again, forever.
