DEAR ALL,
DON'T DELETE IT WITHOUT READING
I was walking around in a BigBazar store making shopping, when I saw a Cashier
talking to a 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 me and asked: '' are you sure I don't
have enough money? ''
I counted his cash and replied: '' You know that you don't have enough money to
buy the dolll, my dear. '' 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 . Iwanted
to Gift her for her BIRTHDAY.
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 him where he was laughing. He
then told me 'I want mommy to take my picture with her so my sister won't
forget me.' 'I love my mommy and I wish she doesn'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 with
out 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.'
I finished my shopping in a totally different state 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 exposed 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 had been changed for ever.
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.
