Sally jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon comeoutof the operating room. She said: "How is my littleboy? Is he going to be all right? When can I seehim?" The surgeon said, "I'm sorry. We didall 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?Oneof the nurses will be out in a few minutes, beforehe's transported to the university." Sallyasked the nurse to stay with her while she saidgood-bye to son. She ran her fingers lovinglythrough his thick red curly hair. "Would you likea lock of his hair?" the nurse asked. Sallynodded yes. The nurse cut a lock of the boy'shair, put it in a plastic bag and handed it toSally. The mother said, "It was Jimmy's idea todonate his body to the University for Study. Hesaid it might help somebody else. "I said no atfirst, but Jimmy said, 'Mom, I won't be using itafter I die. Maybe it will help some other littleboy spend one more day with his Mom."

She wenton,"My Jimmy had a heart of gold. Always thinking ofsomeone else. Always wanting to help others if hecould." Sally walked out of Children's mercyHospital for the last time, after spending most ofthe last six months there. She put the bag withJimmy's belongings on the seat beside her in thecar. The drive home was difficult. It was evenharder to enter the empty house. She carriedJimmy's belongings, and the plastic bag with thelock of his hair to her son's room. She startedplacing the model cars and other personal thingsback in his room exactly where he had always keptthem. She laid down across his bed and, hugginghis pillow, cried herself to sleep.

It wasaround midnight when Sally awoke. Laying besideher on the bed was a folded letter. The lettersaid: "Dear Mom, I know you're going to miss me;but don't think that I will ever forget you, orstop loving you, just 'cause I'm not around to sayI LOVE YOU. I will always love you, Mom, evenmorewith each day. Someday we will see each otheragain. Until then, if you want to adopt a littleboy so you won't be so lonely, that's okay withme. He can have my room and old stuff to playwith. But, if you decide to get a girl instead,she probably wouldn't like the same things us boysdo. You'll have to buy her dolls and stuff girlslike, you know. Don't be sad thinking about me.This really is a neat place. Grandma and Grandpamet me as soon as I got here and showed mearoundsome, but it will take a long time to seeeverything. The angels are so cool. I love towatch them fly. And, you know what? Jesusdoesn'tlook like any of his pictures. Yet, when I sawHim, I knew it was Him. Jesus himself took me tosee GOD! And guess what, Mom? I got to sit onGod's knee and talk to Him, like I was somebodyimportant. That's when I told Him that I wanted towrite you a letter, to tell you good-bye andeverything. But I already knew that wasn'tallowed. Well, you know what Mom? God handedmesome paper and His own personal pen to write youthis letter. I think Gabriel is the name of theangel who is going to drop this letter off to you.God said for me to give you the answer to one ofthe questions you asked Him 'Where was He whenIneeded him?' "God said He was in the same placewith me, as when His son Jesus was on the cross.He was right there, as He always is with all Hischildren. Oh, by the way, Mom, no one else cansee what I've written except you. To everyone elsethis is just a blank piece of paper. Isn't thatcool? I have to give God His pen back now. Heneeds it to write some more names in the Book ofLife. Tonight I get to sit at the table with Jesusfor supper. I'm, sure the food will be great.Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I don't hurtanymore. The cancer is all gone. I'm glad becauseI couldn't stand that pain anymore and Godcouldn't stand to see me hurt so much, either.That's when He sent The Angel of Mercy to comegetme. The Angel said I was a Special Delivery! Howabout that? Signed with Love from God, Jesus &Me. (Let's see Satan stop this one.)
