I was in a Mall shopping, when I saw a
Cashier talking to a boy who 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:
''Uncle, 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 doll, 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 . I wanted 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
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.
