A beautiful story star if you like?

Please ignore the wet spots, my eyes were leaking.

When you're down to nothing, God is up to something."

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."

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 laid down across his bed

and, hugging his pillow, cried herself to sleep.

It was around midnight when Sally 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 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 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 ?
