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 any more?
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 asked that the nurse to stay with her
while she said good-bye to her son. Sally
ran her fingers through his thick red curly
hair.
The nurse said, "Would you like a lock
of his hair?" Sally nodded yes. The nurse cut
a lock of his hair and put it in a plastic bag
and handed it to Sally.
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. She sat the bag with Jimmy's
things in it on the seat beside of her in the car.
The drive home was hard and it was even harder to
go into an empty house.
She took the bag to Jimmy's room and started
placing the model cars and things back in his
room exactly where he always kept them.
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. Some day 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, and I love to
watch them fly. Jesus doesn't look like
any of the pictures I saw of Him, but
I knew it was Him as soon as I saw Him.
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 Delivery!
