This is beautiful! Try not to cry
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."
Andrea asked the nurse to stay with her while she
said
good-bye to son.
She ran her fingers lovingly through his thick red
curly
hair.
"Would you like a lock of his hair?" the nurse
asked.
Andrea nodded yes. The nurse cut a lock of the boy's
hair,
put it in a plastic bag and handed it to Andrea.
The mother said, "It was Alex's idea to donate his
body
to
the
University for study.
He said it might help somebody else. "I said no at
first,
but Alex 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 Alex had a heart of gold. Always thinking of
someone
else.
Always wanting to help others if he could."
Andrea 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 Alex'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 Alex'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 laid down across his
bed
and,
hugging his pillow, cried herself to sleep.
It was around midnight when Andrea awoke.
Laying 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 I will 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 old 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 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?
Signed with Love from God, Jesus & Me.
(Let's see Satan stop this one.) Take 60-seconds
and repost this, within the hour, you will have
caused a
multitude of believers to pray
to God for each other. Then sit back and feel the
Holy
Spirit
work in your life for doing what you know
God loves "When you're down to nothing, God is up to
something.?
