 (1) THE LITTLE BOY
The Little Boy... get the kleenex box first
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 the nurses 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 goodbye to
her 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 bag and 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, y'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 goodbye and everything. But I already knew
that wasn't allowed.
Well, y'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
Special Delivery! How about that?
