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,
Pat Ferguson

 >>>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

 >>>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

 >>>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

 >>>That's when He sent The Angel of Mercy to come get me. The Angel

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp; THIS IS BEAUTIFUL<br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>

he going to be <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp; The surgeon said, &quot;I'm sorry. We did
all we could, but your boy <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;didn't make it.&quot;<br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp; Sally said, &quot;Why do little children get
cancer? Doesn't God <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp; Sally nodded yes. The nurse cut a lock of
the boy's hair, put <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;it in a plastic bag and handed it to Sally. The mother
said, &quot;It <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;was Jimmy's idea to donate his body to the university for
study. <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;He said it might help somebody else. &quot;I said no at

it will <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;help some other little boy spend one more day with his

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;went on, &quot;My Jimmy had a heart of gold. Always
thinking of someone <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;else. Always wanting to help others if he
could.&quot;<br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp; Sally walked out of Children's mercy
Hospital for the last <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;time, after spending most of the last six months there.
She put <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;the bag with Jimmy's belongings on the seat beside her in
the car. <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;The drive home was difficult. It was even harder to enter
the <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;empty house. She carried Jimmy's belongings, and the
plastic bag <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;with the lock of his hair to her son's room. She started
placing <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;the model cars and other personal things back in his room
exactly <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;where he had always kept them. She laid down across his
bed and, <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;hugging his pillow, cried herself to sleep.<br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp; It was around midnight when Sally awoke.
Laying beside her on <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;the bed was a folded letter. The letter said:<br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Dear Mom, I know you're going to miss
me; but don't think that <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;I will ever forget you, or stop loving you, just 'cause
I'm not <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;around to say I LOVE YOU. I will always love you, Mom,
even more <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;with each day. Someday we will see each other again.
Until then, <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;if you want to adopt a little boy so you won't be so
lonely, <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;that's okay with me. He can have my room and old stuff to
play <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;with. But, if you decide to get a girl instead, she
probably <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;wouldn't like the same things us boys do. You'll have to
buy her <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;dolls and stuff girls like, you know. Don't be sad
thinking about <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;me. This really is a neat place. Grandma and Grandpa met
me as <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;soon as I got here and showed me around some, but it will
take a <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;long time to see everything. The angels are so cool. I
love to <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;watch them fly. And, you know what? Jesus doesn't look
like any of <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;his pictures. Yet, when I saw Him, I knew it was Him.
Jesus <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;himself took me to see GOD! And guess what, Mom? I got to
sit on <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;God's knee and talk to Him, like I was somebody
important. That's <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;when I told Him that I wanted to write you a letter, to
tell you <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;good-bye and everything. But I already knew that wasn't

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;Well, you know what Mom? God handed me some paper and His
own <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;personal pen to write you this letter. I think Gabriel is
the name <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;of the angel who is going to drop this letter off to you.
God said <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;for me to give you the answer to one of the questions you
asked <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;Him 'Where was He when I needed him?' &quot;God said He
was in the same <br>

was <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;except you. To everyone else this is just a blank piece
of paper. <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;Isn't that cool? I have to give God His pen back now. He
needs it <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;anymore and God couldn't stand to see me hurt so much,
either. <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;That's when He sent The Angel of Mercy to come get me.
The Angel <br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;said I was a Special Delivery! How about that?<br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp; Signed with Love from: God, Jesus
&amp;Me.<br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp; Let's see Satan stop this one.<br>

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp; Take 60-seconds and send this to five other

<dd>&gt;&gt;&gt;hour, you will have caused a multitude of believers to
