sally jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon come out of the opperating room.she said,"how is my little boy? is he oing 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 anymore?Where wew u God when my son needed u?The sergeon asked "whould u 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 sytay with her while she said goodbye to her son.she ran her fingers lovingly through his thick red cruly hair."would u 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 if after i die.Mabye it will help spme other little boy spend one more day with his Mom."she went on,"my jimmy had a heart of godl.always thinking of someone else.always wanting to help others if he could."Sally walked out of childrens's mercy hospitalfor the last time,after spending most of tthe lastsix months there.She put the bag with Jimmy's belongings on the 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 sin's room.She started placing the model cars and other personal things,back in his room exabtly 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 Sally awoke.lying beside her on the bed was a folded letter.The letter said: Dear Mom, I know u r going to miss me;but don't think that i will ever forget u,or stop loving u,just 'cause i'm not around to say i LOVE U.i will always love u,mom,even more with each day.someday we will see eachother again. until then,if u want to adopt a little boy sp u won't be so lonely,that,s okay with me.he can have my room,and old stuff to play with.but ,if u decide to get a girls instead,the probably wouldn't like the same things as boys do.you'll have to to buy her dolls and stuff girls like,u' 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,u know what?jesus doesn't look like any of his pictures.yet,when i saw him,i know it was him. Jesus himself took me to see God!and guess what?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 u a letter ,to tell u godbye and everything.but i alreasy know that wasn't allowed.well,u know what Mom?God handed me some paper and his own personal pen to write u this letter.i think gebriel is the name of the angel who is going to drop this letter off to u.God said for me to give u the answer to one of the questions u 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 expect 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 almost forgot to tell u 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 ger me.the angel said i was special delivery!how about that? signed with love from God,guses and me..
