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 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 anymore? 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 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. Someday
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,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.
Oh, by the way Mom, nobody else can see what is
written on this paper but you. To everyone else, it
looks like a blank piece of paper. I have to give God
His pen back now, he has some more names to write 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. 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!
Signed with love from:
God & Jesus & Me.
