The Invisible Letter....Grab a tissue!
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 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 anymore? 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 her 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. Lying 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, y '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, y'know what Mom?
God handed me some paper and His own personal pen to write you
this letter. I think Gabriel is the nameof the angel who is going
todrop 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 Special Delivery! How about that?
Signed with Love from:
God, Jesus &Me.
Let's see Satan stop this one. Take 60-seconds and send this
to five other people, within the hour, you will have caused a
multitude of believers to pray to God for each other. Then sit back and
feel the Holy
Spirit work in your life for doing what you know God loves.
