THE DOLL
I was walking around in a Wal Mart
store, when I saw a cashier
hand this little boy some money back.
The boy couldn't have been
more than 5 or 6 years old..
The Cashier said,
'I'msorry,
but you don't have
enough money to buy this
doll..'
Then the little boy turned to the
old woman next to him:
''Granny, are you sure I
don't have enough
money?''
The old lady replied:
''You know that you
don't
have enough money to
buy this doll, my dear.''
Then she asked him to stay there
for just 5 minutes while she went
to
look around. She left
quickly..
The little boy was still holding
the doll in his hand..
Finally, I walked toward him and
I asked him who he wished to give
this
doll to.
'It's the doll that my
sister loved most and wanted so
much
for Christmas.
She was sure that Santa Claus
would bring it to her.'
I replied to him that maybe SantaClaus would bring it to her after
all,
and not to worry.
But he replied to me sadly.
'No, Santa Claus can't
bring it
to her where she is
now. I have to give the doll to my
mommy so that she can
give it to my sister when she goes
there.'
His eyes were so sad while saying
this.. 'My Sister has gone to
be
with God. Daddy says
that Mommy is going to see God
bery
soon too, so I thought
that she could take the doll with
her
to give it to my
sister.''
My heart nearly stopped..
The little boy looked up at me
and said: 'I told daddy to
tell
mommy not to go yet. I
need her to wait until I come back
from
the mall.'
Then he showed me a very nice
photo of himself. He was
laughing.. He
then told me 'I
want mommy to take my picture with
her
so she won't
forget me.'
'I love my mommy and I wish
she didn't have to leave me,
but
daddy says that she has
to go to be with my little
sister.'
Then he looked again at the doll
with sad eyes, very quietly.
I quickly reached for my wallet
and said to the boy. 'Suppose
we
check again, just in
Case you do have enough money for
the
doll!''
OK' he said, 'I hope I do
have enough.' I added some of
my
money to his without
him seeing and we started to count
it.
There was enough for
the doll and even some spare
money..
The little boy said: 'Thank
you God for giving me enough
money!'
Then he looked at me and added,
'I asked last night
before I went to sleep for God to
make
sure I had enough
money to buy this doll, so that
mommy
could give it to my
sister. He heard me!''
'I also wanted to have enough
money to buy a white rose for my
mommy,
but I didn't
dare to ask God for too much.. But
He
gave me enough to buy
the doll and a white
Rose.''
'My mommy loves white
roses.'
A few minutes later, the old lady
returned and I left with my
basket.
I finished my shopping in a
totally different state of mind
from
when I started.
I couldn't get the little boy
out
of my mind.
Then I remembered a local news
paper article two days ago, which
mentioned a drunk man in
a
truck, who hit a car occupied by a
young woman and a little
girl.
The little girl died right away,
and the mother was left in a
critical
state. The family had
to decide whether to pull the plug
on
the life-sustaining
machine, because the young woman
would
not be able to
recover from the coma.
Was this the family of the little
boy?
Two days after this encounter
with the little boy, I read in the
news
paper that the
young
woman had
passed away.
I couldn't stop myself as I
bought a bunch of white roses and
I
went to the funeral
home
where the body of the young woman
was
for people to see and
make last wishes before her
burial.
She was there, in her coffin,
holding a beautiful white rose in
her
hand with the photo
of
the little boy and the doll placed
over
her chest.
I left the place, teary-eyed,
feeling that my life had been
changed
for ever... The love
that the little boy had for his
mother
and his sister is
still, to this day, hard to
imagine.
And in a fraction of a second, a
drunk driver had taken all
this away from him.
Now you have 2 choices:
1) Send this message to others,
or
2) Ignore it as if it never
touched your heart.
The quote of the month is by Jay
Leno: 'With hurricanes,
tornados,
fires out of control,
mud slides, flooding, severe
thunderstorms tearing up the
country from one end to the other,
and
with the threat of
swine flu and terrorist attacks,
'Are we sure this is a
good time to take God out of the
Pledge
of Allegiance?'
For those who prefer to think
that God is not
Watching over us delete this, for
the
others ...
Pass it on!
God Bless!!!
