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 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, ‘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. Laying 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, 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, 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, you know what Mom? 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, 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 a Special Delivery! How about that?
Signed with Love from: God, Jesus & Me.”

Ausm !-These are heaven words,and a test for mankind will they keep the faith as expected from them.
what a fake story! If no one could see the writing on the letter why did the mother not just go to a scientest to get it checked if it was legit, or put the mother on a lie detector! As u can see science and tecnolodgy powers over all! This is a new age a new era!!!!!!!!

It’s a very touching story which made me cry….
Every living person has three characters, that which they exhibit, that which they have, and that which they think they have and sadly there is nothing that will change it in life.
I love you maa, God please take very good care of my mom. I love you maa.
Right after the death of my father and brother I was waiting for such words only which could comfort my mind and soul. Thnx a lot.
This is wonderful, it touches my heart.
Whoa! Nice story ..it give me an nspiration to live well and enjoy life when you’re still alive. It reminds me that no matter what happens, still God’s will must prevail. He is only the one who knows who are you in the past, present, or next years. He is the one knows whats the best way to live life better. You know what, i really want to cry after reading this story but i decide not to do it, instead, i thank for it. and to you, God..for giving light and taught the right path..

This is a beautiful story! I lost both my grandmothers to cancer in the space of about 18 months. This helped me believe that they are in a better place now and are no longer suffering and for that I’m thankful 🙂
Thank you for writing such a memorable story!
Awwwww this is a touching story. Life is very precious and the one who sacrifises it for the sake of other people really has a heart of gold. Well done!!!

I really love this story and it really gives me hope cause I just had a fight with my mom and I am still angry at me ….but after I read this story I felt better and makes me feel that I should forgive her…..thanks for your useful story.
It is a good story. If anyone who read this comment and have time I want you to help me send this story to 5 people (can be more) you know and tell them to send to 6 or more people that they know so this good story with full of faith and hope on the story.
Friends, go out and express your love and care to whomsoever as early as possible…the story is heart melting…i guess we wont be able to write letters from heaven but may we not find ourselves in a position there where we would regret for words not spoken while we were alive…LIFEs Great…PLEASE KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK 🙂
I can’t say much…really brings hope that this life is not the end and the Lord is always with us and never has left us even when we think he doesn’t .
It’s really a very touching story indeed and it wetted my eyes. I am really deeply moved. Thx for sharing this story.
GOD is very powerful. Did u know when I lost my tamil essay book I started to recite GOD name until I reach my class. When I reach my class I saw my tamil essay under my table desk. So, DONT PLAY PLAY WITH GOD!! HE always watching u!!
I was deeply moved by this story. I recently lost my 14yr old cousin. She had gynecological cancer. The doctors tried their best and she was in so much pain yet strong. GOD knew what is best for her. HE will never let us down we need to trust HIM.
Dear,
It was one of the most touching stories read. May God bless us all understand him better.
