Sally jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon come out of the
operating room.She said: "How is my little boy?
Is he going to be all right? When can I see him? " The surgeon
said, "I'm sorry. We did all we could, but your boy
didn't make it."Sally said, "Why do little children
get cancer? Doesn't God care any more? Where were you, God,
when my son needed you?" The surgeon asked, "Would you
like some time alone with your son? One of thenurses will be out in a few minutes, before he's
transported to the university." Sally asked the nurse to stay
with her while she said good-bye to son. She ran her fingers
lovingly through his thick red curly hair. "Would you like a
lock of his hair?" the nurse asked. Sally nodded yes. The
nurse cut a lock of the boy's hair, put it in a plastic
bagand handed it to Sally. The mother said, "It was
Jimmy's idea to donate his body to the University for Study. He
said it might help somebody else. "I said no at first, but
Jimmy said, 'Mom, I won't be using it after I die. Maybe it
will help some other little boy spend one more day with his
Mom." She went on, "My Jimmy had a heart of gold. Always
thinking of someone else. Always wanting to help others if he
could." Sally walked out of Children's mercy Hospital for
the last time, after spending most of the last six months there.
She put the bag with Jimmy's belongings on the seat beside her
in the car. The drive home was difficult. It was even harder to
enter the empty house. She carried Jimmy's belongings, and the
plastic bag with the lock of his hair to her son's room. She
started placing the model cars and other personal things back in
his room exactly where he had always kept them. She laid down
across his bed and, hugging his pillow, cried herself to sleep. It
was around midnight when Sally awoke. Laying beside her on the bed
was a folded letter. The letter said "Dear Mom, I know
you're going to miss me; but don't think that I will ever
forget you, or stop loving you, just 'cause I'm not around
to say I LOVE YOU. I will always love you, Mom, even more with each
day. Someday we will see each other again. Until then, if you want
to adopt a little boy so you won't be so lonely, that's
okay with me. He can have my room and old stuff to play with. But,
if you decide to get a girl instead, she probably wouldn't like
the same things us boys do. You'll have to buy her dolls and
stuff girls like, you know. Don't be sad thinking about me.
This really is a neat place. Grandma and Grandpa met me as soon as
I got here and showed me around some, but it will take a long time
to see everything. The angels are so cool. I love to watch them
fly. And, you know what? Jesus doesn't look like any of his
pictures. Yet, when I saw Him, I knew it was Him. Jesus himself
took me to see GOD! And guess what, Mom? I got to sit on God's
knee and talk to Him, like I was somebody important. That's
when I told Him that I wanted to write you a letter, to tell you
good-bye and everything. But I already knew that wasn't
allowed. Well, you know what Mom? God handed me some paper and His
own personal pen to write you this letter. I think Gabriel is the
name of the angel who is going to drop this letter off to you. God
said for me to give you the answer to one of the questions you
asked Him 'Where was He when I needed him?' "God said
He was in the same place with me, as when His son Jesus was on the
cross. He was right there, as He always is with all His children.
Oh, by the way, Mom, no one else can see what I've written
except you. To everyone else this is just a blank piece of paper.
Isn't that cool? I have to give God His pen back now. He needs
it to write some more names in the Book of Life. Tonight I get to
sit at the table with Jesus for supper. I'm, sure the food will
be great. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I don't hurt
anymore. The cancer is all gone. I'm glad because I
couldn't stand that pain anymore and God couldn't stand to
see me hurt so much, either. That's when He sent The Angel of
Mercy to come get me. The Angel said I was a Special Delivery! How
about that? Signed with Love from God, Jesus & Me. (Let's
see Satan stop this one.) Take 60-seconds and repost this, within
the hour, you will have caused a multitude of believers to pray to
God for each other. Then sit back and feel the Holy Spirit work in
your life for doing what you know God loves When you're down to
nothing, God is up to something. REPOST THIS
