Special Delivery

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 any
more? 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 of her on the
bed,
was a
letter folded up. She opened the letter, it said:


Dear Mom, I know your 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.

Some day 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
