Okay, Loving Ones, this is really beautiful and loving. Get out the
cleanex box, as you will need it. A big squeeze for all of you, also.
Please read below my name.
Love you all,

>>> "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

>>>went on, "My Jimmy had a heart of gold. Always thinking of someone

>>>

>>>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.
>>>
>>> Let's see Satan stop this one.
>>> Take 60-seconds and send this to five other people, within the
