A TEAR-JERKER

[Guest guest]

Special Delivery!

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 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.

Live for today because we are not promised another day.

Hug the ones you love and tell them that you love them
