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.”

Dam; New favorite story.
I cried reading these to my sister…
It really makes yu look on how valuable life really is…
i cried when done reading and hope everyone gets a chance to read this story
This story made everyone cry i ant cryed like this in a long time
I cried reading this outloud….
i absolutely L O V E this story , it almost brought a tear to my eyes.
That storie touched mi heart in a place that only one person has: God! Thank you all for this story i loved it!!!!!!!!!!
Wow how sad is that 😦 actually crying, that has reli made me think now gosh 😦 xxx
it is such a beautiful story
This Is such a sweet piece of writing that boy was a very wise and strong boy by the sound of things. he may be gone but never forgotten 😦 RIP xox
No words to Describe wat i feel…God is Always Great..He will show both Ups & Downs But only For d Sake of Our Welfare..!! Trust God
🙂
i loved it im stil crying wat a touching story!:(
this was such a great tory , great for kids to learn !
this story is amazinf n had me in floods of tears, everyone should read this……
i didnt feel a thing, because i know its not real 😛
ur cold hearted
wow, you’re a jerk. how would you feel if you were a single parent and you’re only child was taken from you? exactly.
Maybe a boy writing a note to his mom from heaven Cant happen, but a boy dieing from cancer at a young age is possible. It’s real! Young boys and girls die from cancer almost as much as adults. This is called a story, but some little boy dieing from cancer and his mom missing the boy sooo much, happens.
though the story may not be CANCER IS REAL and it does bring pain
have you ever seen some one suffering with cancer or been with some
who as just lost some one through cancer ???
i’m not sure if this is even real but it is sad and cute 🙂
This story is so sad it made my heart cry in pain but by the same token gave me renewed faith. If a small boy could have that much faith in the unknown, we need to believe more like him to be happy.
cried thru the whole thing. i know we cant understand why children must suffer like this, but god has a reason for all he chooses to do, who knows maybe its to make us stronger than we believe we are
Indeed heaven is real and jesus is alive, praise the Lord!!
its a very sad yet inspirational story….
Facebook
it was sush a heart touching story!!!!!i don’t know if it’s real and noone really know but it make me cry even before the letter the little boy was SO STRONG!!!!!i wish i could be a little strongness as him!!!!!pure mummy…!!!!but she must think that her little boy is now in good hands and is not in pain anymore…this atleast should give her a little of courage…..

I read this story with my wife, it brought a tear to my eyes as well as my wifes she cryd. It is a shame what children/any person has to go through and in hard times we all question Gods Where abouts but this story Reminds you He is always there.
This broke my heart with tears in my eyes when i read this. As a mother i felt her pain.='(
Same here 😦
this week i really had my hopes up because i really thought i was pregnant because i had missed my cycle but then when i was ready to tell my husband everything went wrong and Ive been in a depresed because me and my husband have really been looking foward in parents and that just realy killed our hopes and i was realy mad with God for letting our hopes realy get up but after reading this i realy understand that God is the only one that knows when things should happen and how they should happen although sometimes we dont understand them when they happen and we loose faith…
aww..Maria i m touched with watever u said…nd thts true God is always with us…but we take him wrong sometimes

Casey MAy be you did not get letter…But surely God loves his children….So have faith in him….God bless you
I lost my husband to the after effects of cancer. I seen him suffer with Chem and Radiation, that riddled his body almost useless. Yes, he beat the cancer, but in the end his body gave in to the after effects. I was sad, because I wanted him to live for me, but God said his suffering was done and took to be well and whole. So I wait until I see him again. God truly loves his children no matter how old you are. I love the story, because we know how God loves his children and always does what’s best.
@Marsha .. Felt really sorry to hear about your Husband…MAy God bless His Soul…I Agree with you dear God always loves his children…
I really had tears in my eyes wen i read your comment…..God bless you
Nice story. 🙂
This story has past a massage in particular to us which is: we should always do good because it wil be to every man according to the work of his hands. Jesus Loves you

That’s actually so sad ;( made me cry, no-one should ever know what its like to out live there child(ren) ❤ x
Sorry but I just had to say this”God couldn’t stand to see me hurt so much” WHY GOD HURT HIM in the first place!!!! WHY children get cancer and die and SUFFER, and some of them suffer years< and parents try as hard as they can to save their kids… I am sorry but I have known so many stories where we all prayed the child will get better and nothing… even though it was said "if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them. " hundreds of brokenhearted , faithful moms prayed for one child and NOTHING but agonizing pain and horrible uneasy death was given to a child. Our God is far from being kind…
i am encouarged to be more thankful and be more trusting of God. that He is sovereign.
This story is so touching & beautiful 4 me bcuz I myself lost my son a 7 & a half years ago 2 cancer. I know he isn’t hurting anymore but if I could see him just 1 more time it would b amazing. God bless u & thank u 4 sharing ur story & ur son’s journey. In loving memory of my angel Nathaniel Alexander 1-8-2000 to 1-27-2004
May Your Son’s Soul Rest in Peace …. and Have faith on god
eish wow… I dnt kno wat 2 say, I feel emotionally now I’m crying inside, it makes me wonder what will happen when I gat there. From now I have to walk on his ways so he can welcome me like a little boy. Amen

Wow – definitely need the tissues – what a wonderful story that does offer hope to those who have lost someone too young. Thank you for sharing
There’s nothing to cry with this.. Indeed it can be an example of not suffering for those whom we lost! i really love the last part of this story!
‘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?’
Amazing! 🙂

I almost cried but i am suposed to be doing hw, so if i did my parents would’ve yelled at me such a sad story
Only one word here…
“Love brings all things together”
And the story has a voice of love in it.
I read this while sitting on the libary, i cried and the staff came and asked me “Whats wrong” I showed her the story and she started crying a little too.
God have mercy on His children, in Heaven and here on Earth.
I wonder when did I start to cry? Can’t stop the tears

This story is amazing.Im a true believer.. I lost my 4yr old daughter in june this year,she had cancer.. Strong fighter she was.. The last look she had was like she was looking at someone in the corner with a tear running down her left cheek,then looked at her dad who was holding her,then looked at me and slowly closed her eyes peacefully. I believe an angel was waiting for her in that corner.. She never too like to see me hurt,I was 9 months pregnant the day we buried my baby,straight after her burial I was in labour,and hour and a half later we were blessed with a healthy baby girl.. God is good… missing you always,love you R.I.P Athena Tavau Te’o xx
