This is beautiful!
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, ' Mum, I won't be using it after I die. Maybe it will help some other little boy spend one more day with his Mum.' 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 lay 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 Mum ,
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, Mum, 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, Mum ? 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 Mum ? 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, Mum, 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?
Signed with Love from God, Jesus & Me.
(Let's see Satan stop this one.) Take 60 seconds and repost this, 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 'When you're down to nothing, God is up to something.'
歌兒按:這個故事雖然不是真的,讀來卻很感人。想到最近剛失去孩子的同事Ruth,不知道如果發給她看,會不會給她些安慰,又怕看了,她更勾起傷心。所以還是貼在這裏吧。
“阿小歌,真人SHOW我就不參加了,老了,不敢跟你們這幫小年輕大年輕站一個舞台上了。不過,如果你們願意讓我免費當觀眾,我還是很願意的:)))”

抱抱老鄉, 雖然我不知道你的故事, 但從隻言片語裏,我可以感受你的堅強, 懂得你的堅強...孩子的力量很大,歌兒這麽多我說過.
歌兒:
沒孩子和有孩子,對一切跟孩子有關的東西的體會感受是真不一樣的.. 從孩子還在肚子裏我就發現了. :)
歌兒不要得意,見過小帥豆的不止你一個,哢哢哢
PP,回抱,你的明白體諒痛惜盡在不言中.
"從TT生病,我覺得自己枯萎了一半,再也不能回轉過來." 小珊,看了這句真是讓我心疼得無以複加.

歌兒,TT不能去向陽院,TT要學習在現存的體製中/係統中生活,生存.AA才是TT以後一輩子依賴仰仗的人.
Dr.娃娃,咱們不哭,咱們不堅強,孩子就失去更多.對,那個司機叫Joe,我也很想他.

阿小歌,真人SHOW我就不參加了,老了,不敢跟你們這幫小年輕大年輕站一個舞台上了。不過,如果你們願意讓我免費當觀眾,我還是很願意的:)))
珊瑚礁:抱抱,親親,雖然不知道你的一切事情,但歌兒說得好,我們老了可以大家在一起,做做伴的。
我沒有孩子,我看了隻是感動,沒掉淚,不知道有孩子的人看了以後會這麽難過,抱歉。
