My Little Boy


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 O.K.? 
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 you're 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, 
and 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. 
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!
