True Love Never Dies!
I was walking around in a department store, when I saw
a Cashier hand this little boy some money back.
The boy couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 years old.
The Cashier said, I'm sorry, but you don't have
enough money to buy this doll. Then the little boy
turned to the old woman next to him: ''Granny, are
you sure I don't have enough money?''
The old lady replied: ''You know that you don't
have enough money to buy this doll, my dear.''
Then she asked him to stay there for just 5 minutes while
she went to look around. She left quickly.
The
little boy was still holding the doll in his hand.
Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished
to give this doll to.
"It's the doll that my sister loved most and
wanted so much
for Christmas."
"She was sure that Santa Claus would bring it to
her."
I replied to him that maybe Santa Claus would bring it to
her after all, and not to worry.
But he replied to me sadly. "No, Santa Claus can't
bring it to her where she is now. I have to give the doll to
my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes
there."
His eyes were so sad while saying this. "My Sister has
gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see
God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll
with her to give it to my sister."
My heart nearly stopped.
The little boy looked up at me and said: "I told
daddy to tell mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until
I come back from the mall."
Then he showed me a very nice photo of himself. He was
laughing. He then told me "I want mommy to take my
picture with her so she won't forget me."
"I love my mommy and I wish she didn't have
to leave me, but daddy says that she has to go to be with
my little sister."
Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very
quietly.
I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy.
"Suppose we check again, just in case you do have
enough money for the doll!''
"OK' he said, 'I hope I do have enough."I
added some of my money to his without him seeing and we
started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even
some spare money.
The little boy said: "Thank you God for giving me
enough money!"
Then he looked at me and added, "I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough
money to buy this doll, so that mommy could give it to my
sister. He heard me!''
"I also wanted to have enough money to buy a
white rose for my mommy, but I didn't dare to ask God
for too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a
white rose.''
"My mommy loves white
roses."
A few minutes later, the old lady returned and I left with
my basket.
I finished my shopping in a totally different state of mind
from when I started.
I couldn't get the little boy out of my
mind.
Then I
remembered a local news paper article two days ago, which
mentioned a drunk man in a truck, who hit a car occupied by
a young
woman and a little girl.
The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in
a critical state. The family had to decide whether to pull
the plug on the life-sustaining machine, because the young
woman would not be able to recover from the
coma.
Was this the family of the little boy?
Two days after this encounter with the little boy, I read
in the news paper that the young woman had passed away.
I couldn't stop
myself as I bought a bunch of white roses and I went to
the funeral home where the body of the young woman was for
people to see and make last wishes before her burial.
She was there, in her coffin, holding a beautiful white
rose in her hand with the photo of the little boy and the
doll placed over her chest.
I left the place, teary-eyed, feeling that my life ha d
been changed forever. The love that the little boy had for
his mother and his sister is still, to this day, hard to
imagine.
And in a fraction of a second, a drunk driver had taken all
this away from him.
