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.”

God does not want to let his beloved one’s suffer so he takes them up to live with him…Good ones are chosen first and taken up first.
Really a nice story! It gives us an idea of how a person feels when he meets God. I know someday I will also have this feeling. But not now! The whole life is left. First enjoy here and then there. Anyways I think I will keep on talking better say typing but it was an awesome story which brought tears of excitement, happiness and a little bit pain in my eyes.
OK! Bye
This reminded me of my friend and I could not stop crying becoz of this STORY!! All u and ur story’s fault.
The story tells us love with life.
Hat’s off story, mindblowing , fabulous & its beyond thinking of normal human being…
It was really awesome. Still have tears rolling out of my eyes…
I can’t wait to see HIM..
Very nice and touching story …………….very nice 🙂
Love this story.. very heart touching
While reading the story tears were rolling down my face. How difficult it is for a mother to bear the loss of any of her children. Hats off to the writer.
A heart touching story!! I love it.
It is a good one… I had a friend, my angel, she died due to a clot in her brain after an accident. We all loved her a lot… too much… but God took her away… I never understand why.
She was the best friend I had. After her death, me and my friends got some mails pre-written by her to help us in life… It is not as easy and sweet to see and read in reality. I will always miss her.
It is an awesome story. Hats off to you.
There is a reason why things happen. Love one another.
It was a heart touching story. I realy love this story.
Really Nice Story.
Which made me cry.
It is really a heart touching story …. very nice …..
This story has changed the way I think dramatically, it’s funny, didn’t use to think words could make such a big impact on my life.
I really like the story very much. I will recommend all to read it.
Very feeling-full story, I could tear …
Children are the most important thing in the world.. We should take care of them.. love them through our whole heart… and forgive all their mistakes.. they’re just children…
Wooooooooooo that’s was amazing.
This is a heart touching story. I can’t express my feeling in words. This story shows us how we find good in everything.
Tears came out of my eyes.
Very touching…
I just love this story so much… it brings tears to your eyes each time you read it.. I am planning to make a short film based on this.. hope it matches the standards of this story.. and to the UNKNOWN AUTHOR.. please keep writing such beautiful stories 🙂
Definitely heart touching and making us to think about true love to people around us and the Divine Love, God Almighty always provide to us…
Loved this story, made me cry my eyes out from the second line on…
Lovely story…… Keep up the good work
Can’t explain the happiness after reading this… well done, whomever is the writer.
I love this story very much, very inspirational and very good concept related to mother and son. Excellent……
That was really motivating, it gives hope to those who are not in good health knowing that they may not survive the sickness. They will be in the caring hand of God himself. U know what makes people cry at times when their loved one dies is that they believe that he/she will go to suffer after they are buried and they feel pity for them. But when one knows that their loved one is in the caring hand of God himself he/she won’t hurt inside……that was really inspiring.
Nice and heart touching story i like it..
superb story for children
‘Like’ it!
How cute ! Am longing for the day i’ll get to meet dad n other lovely friends in heaven.

One thing I can Share
God’s plan is always the Best
His Plan is better than Man.

Jesus in our life 🙂
Although the story is fake, but still i’m surprised it bought tears to my eyes.
Heart felt, tears have choked my throat.
It is just awesome…
I lost my dear ones in short span of time….. that time i was thnking exactly what this mother was thinking….. God! Do u really exist!…… but now it seems to be reality….. the relief from the pain….. to all those who were going through it!!!!!
Chacha,
A great question!
Why did God not just cure the boy?
Why did God allow a tsunami to happen?
Many of us are trying to give answers based on sin
or impartiality of God.
The truth is that we do not know.
We do not understand everything
Let me tell you a small story to explain further:
“A two year old is playing with a knife.
The father is taking the knife away from the child who was having great fun.
The child thinks he is treated unfair.
The child cannot understand
But the father did the right thing
We can understand the father in this story
But we cannot understand God
Our human mind is too small
God knows best what is to be done
We often think we are treated unfair
But we really cannot understand
Let us accept that we cannot understand everything
In the mean time be grateful for the countless blessings
that in great numbers outnumber the catastrophes and tragedies
Let us enjoy the million kindnesses and start a real kindness revolution.
Give thanks for the glorious things, accept the difficult ones.
I am sure this world is heading towards being a better place.
All the best
Hans
