~:C.C.4.U:~ Heart Touching Story about a Little Boy

 

 

I was walking around in a Target store, when I saw the lady in the cashier hand this little boy some money back.

 

The boy couldn't have been more than 8 or 9 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: ''Nanny, 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 for a cheaper one. 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 mummy 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 Mummy 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 mummy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the shops.'

 

Then he showed me a very nice photo of himself. He was laughing. He then told me 'I want mummy to take my picture with her so she won't forget me.'

 

'I love my mummy 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 mummy could give it to my sister . He heard me!''

 

'I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mummy, 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 mummy loves white roses.'

 

As I saw the old lady returning, I left with my basket as to not cause a scene.

 

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 remove 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 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.

 

Now you have 2 choices:

 

1) Send this message to others,
or
2) Ignore it as if it never touched your heart.

 

For those who prefer to think that God is not watching over us.... go ahead and delete this. For the rest of us.... pass this on....This is your call!

 

The value of a man or woman resides in what he or she gives, not in what they are capable of receiving ....you will have an even better day after you pass this on...
