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 good bye 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 all my 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 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 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?
