.

 Une petite fille de 5 ans en phase terminale a réalisé son rêve en se « mariant » avec son meilleur ami ...

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Eileidh Paterson est une petite fille de 5 ans venant de Forres en Écosse : En mai 2014, alors qu’elle avait 2 ans, sa vie a été complètement chamboulée lorsqu’elle a commencé à avoir du mal à respirer.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Après avoir passé des examens médicaux, on lui a diagnostiqué un neuroblastome : il s'agit « d'une tumeur maligne des cellules de la crête neurale donnant naissance au système nerveux sympathique ».                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Elle et sa famille ont alors fait une petite liste comprenant toutes les choses qu’elle voulait réaliser, l’une d’entre elles s’est réalisée le 18 juin dernier : un mariage de princesse !                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      En effet, l’un de ses rêves était de se marier avec son meilleur ami Harrison Grier ! Les deux enfants se sont donc échangé des colliers et ont été déclarés « meilleurs amis pour la vie » au cours d’un mariage de véritable princesse à Aberdeen, en Écosse.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Toute la famille et les amis étaient présents, déguisés en superhéros ou princesses.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Elle est entrée dans la salle, accompagnée par son grand frère Callum et de la musique « When you wish upon a star » tirée du film Pinnochio.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     La directrice de l’entreprise de divertissement Love Rara, Zara Grant, a ensuite lu la vie de la petite fille sous forme d’un conte de fée. Sa mère Gail Paterson, qui a écrit le conte, représente le combat de sa fille contre la maladie, comme celui d’une princesse contre la « méchante bête ».                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Juste avant d’aller danser avec tous les invités, sa grande sœur Cerys lui a lu un poème se ponctuant par une phrase pleine de sens : « Même si nous sommes séparées, je serai toujours avec toi ».                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

Elle a pu pleinement profiter de sa soirée, même avec la fatigue des dernières transfusions de sang. Harrison, de son côté, était tout aussi excité que sa meilleure amie à l’idée de participer à un « mariage », d’autant plus qu’il n’en avait jamais connu.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      D’après le père du garçon, le petit savait à quel point c’était important pour Eileidh et il voulait faire tout ce qui était en son pouvoir pour elle !
