A boy about 5 or 6 years old want to buy a doll in a mall but doesnt have enough money to pay for it.
The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand.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.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.“I want mommy to take my picture
with her so she 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.
I quickly reached for my wallet and added to his money w/o him noticing it,“Suppose we check again,just in case you
do have enough money for the doll?“OK”I hope I do have enough,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 hearing me“last night before I went to sleep,i ask 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
couldn’t get the little boy out of my mind that night.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 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 forever.The love that the little boy
had for his mother and his sister is still hard to imagine.And in a fraction of a
second, a drunk driver had taken all this away
from him.
