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 O.K.? When can I see him?" The Surgeon said, "I'm sorry, we did
all we could."

Sally said, "Why do little children get cancer, doesn't GOD care
anymore? GOD, where were you when my son needed you?" The Surgeon
said, "One of the nurses will be out in a few minutes to let you spend time
with your son's remains before it's transported to the university".

Sally ran her fingers through his thick red curly hair...Sally
said, "It was Jimmy's idea to give his body to the university for study. He
said it might help somebody else," and that is what he wanted. 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 to be able to spend one more day with his
mother." Sally said, "My Jimmy had a heart of gold, always thinking
of someone else and always wanting to help others if he could".

Sally walked out of the Children's Hospital for the last time now
after spending most of the last 6 months there...The drive home was hard and
it was even harder to go into an empty house. She laid down across his bed
and cried herself to sleep holding his pillow. Sally woke up about midnight
and laying beside of her on the bed, was a letter folded up. She opened the
letter, it 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 because I'm not around to say I LOVE YOU. I'll
think of you every day mom and I'll love you even more each day. Someday we
will see each other again. If you want to adopt a little boy so you won't
be so lonely, he can have my room and my old stuff to play with. If you
decide to get a girl instead, she probably wouldn't like the same
things as us boys do, so you will have to buy her dolls and stuff girls like.

Don't be sad when you think about me, this is really a great 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 here. The angels are so
friendly... Jesus 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. I told GOD
that I wanted to write you a letter and tell you good-bye and everything,
but I knew that wasn't allowed. God handed me some paper and His own personal
pen to write you this letter with. I think Gabriel is the name of the angel
that 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 about... Where was He
when I needed him? God said, "The same place He was when Jesus was on the
cross. He was right there, as He always is with all His children.

Oh, by the way Mom, nobody else can see what is written on this
paper but you. To everyone else, it looks like a blank piece of paper. I have to
give God His pen back now, He has some more names to write 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. I almost forgot to let you know --- now 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 suffer the pain
either, so He sent The Angel of Mercy to get me. The Angel said I was Special

Your son
