A letter from heaven

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 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 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." Sally 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. 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 after I die. Maybe it will help some other little boy
spend one more day with his Mom." She went on, "My Jimmy had a heart of
gold. Always thinking of someone else. Always wanting to help others if
he could." Sally 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 Jimmy'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 Jimmy'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 lay 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
you're going to miss me; but don't think that
I will never forget you, or 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,
=20
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 we 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 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 get me. The Angel said I was a Special
Delivery! How about that?
Signed with Love from: God, Jesus & Me.=20
