She 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 lay down across his bed and, hugging his
pillow, cried herself to sleep. It was around midnight when Sally awoke. Lying
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 any more. 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.
