>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 OK, 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 your 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, 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.
