I presume that this is a scene outside a hospital because I can see a bandage around the little girl's head. I also presume that she must be of some importance, considering the fact that there are news crew behind her that are possibly waiting for an exclusive scoop by interviewing her.The man, woman and boy with brownish hair could possibly be her family who are probably most gratified to have her back with them after the period which she stayed in the hospital. Also there appears to be a crowd of visitors and well-wishers who are watching the little girl leave.

However I think that this little girl and her family are not very famous people because nobody appears to be mobbing them for autographs. So I presume that this little girl must have accomplished something that is of significance such as surviving an accident in consideration of the bandage on her head.

The little girl in the foreground seems to be the focus of everyone present as I can see that most people are facing in her direction. She is dressed in a princess costume and appears to be rather healthy except for her bony arms and pale face. She is smiling and appears to be holding her father's hand. She seems to be like a typical young girl, because most of her items are pink. The bag her mother holds. The purse that is held loosely by her left hand. The stocking and shoes she wears under the pale pink princess costume. The little girl must be terribly excited to go back home but she appears to keep it all in with the maturity one would expect from an older child. It must be terribly interesting and perhaps that is why the news station has come to seek an interview with this seemingly special little girl.

In the background on the left, there is a man with a striped blue tie who is smiling rather pleasantly. I presume that he is of certain importance in the hospital behind him and is saying goodbye to their now former patient. His hands are behind his back and his head is slightly tilted down which seems to convey the message that he is saying goodbye to the little girl in the princess costume. If he was shallow or in charge of the hospital's publicity or customer relations he must be extremely delighted with the revenue that may come in because of the little girl.

Some the visitors seem to be nonchalant of the little girl's leave though most are curious and have sneaked a peek at her. I assume that they will be continuing on what they had set out to do when they arrived at the hospital. Which will probably consist of giving get well presents to their loved ones.

I presume that the father will drive his family back home taking pleasure in the fact that his little girl in finally home with her family again. I hope that they will not be aggressively tailed by the paparazzi and make it home safely to finally enjoy quality time together.

I think that this is an excellent example about one's will to live and the children around the world who have suffered but yet are still standing strong greeting each day with their brightest smiles, giving thanks for each day and living each day to the fullest.
