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 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!

Signed
with love
from: God & Jesus & Me

My friend, Rhea, shared this to me a year ago. It was a very heart-warming experience to read such a story. I really cried after I read it. I even thought of the possibility of it to happen... with me and mommy. I love the story. I know you will love it too.

There are things in life that we value so much that sometimes, God notices how mush we value them than Him... and He takes them away from us... even though that means losing your loved one. But it doesn't mean that God is a bad god. It is just proper for Him. Anyway, this life is not ours but His. Let us just bear in mind that God takes something very important for us at a time... and in the end, He always gives us something better.

A very popular saying or quote then that is very applicable to this story is this: "God never closes a door without opening a window. He always gives us something better when He takes something away." that is the fact. We must learn to live with it. God loves us and He will never harm us. Let us just trust Him... that our loved ones are safe with Him. 

I lost my grandpa when I was just 9 years old. That was the very first time I experienced mourning over the death of a loved one. In fact, I was very close to him. He had always been my companion and friend too. It was so hard for me to accept but in just a few short weeks, I learned to understand the situation... that he is already resting in peace... with God.
