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. She 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 lying beside 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
Someday 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 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
What would you do, if every time
you fell in love
you had to say good-bye
What would you do, if every time
you wanted someone
they would never be
there
What would you do
if your best friend
died tomorrow and you never got
to tell them how you felt
What would you do
if you loved someone
more than ever and you couldn't
have them
Some people live, and some people die
and some people dream and pray and
hope and wish and love
But I want to tell you I love you
and you are a true friend
If I died tomorrow
you would be in my heart
Would I be in yours
May today there be peace within you
May you trust God that you are
exactly where you are meant to be
I believe
that friends are quiet angels
who lift us to
our feet when
our wings have trouble
remembering how to fly
