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, does GOD care no 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 very 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, 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 nice 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 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
to me that I was Special Delivery! How about that?
