She jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon come out of the operating room. She said: "How is my little
boy? Is he going to be all right? When can I see him?"
The surgeon said, "I'm sorry. We did all we could, but your boy didn't make it."
Sally said, "Why do little children get cancer? Doesn't God care any more? Where were you, God, when my
son needed you?"
The surgeon asked, "Would you like some time alone with your son? One of the nurses will be out in a few
minutes, before he's transported to the university."
Sally asked the nurse to stay with her while she said good bye to son. She ran her fingers lovingly through his
thick red curly hair. "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 it in a plastic bag and handed it to Sally.
The mother said, "It was Jimmy's idea to donate his body to the University for Study. He said it might help
somebody else. "I said no at first, but Jimmy said, 'Mom, I won't be using it after I die. Maybe it will help some
other little boy spend one more day with his Mom." She went on, "My Jimmy had a heart of gold. Always
thinking of someone else. Always wanting to help others if he could."
Sally walked out of Children's Mercy Hospital for the last time, after spending most of the last six months
there. She put 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
because 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. Then 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? I was
handed some paper and 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. 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 ? He needs the pen back, to write some more names in the
Book of Life. Tonight I get to sit at the table with Angels 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 ur son : )

ahh this thread really made me cry...

Its sooo touchy freeek ........... just wet my eyes but see I didn't cry :)

I have read a novel by Sidney Sheldon (Rage of Angel) ... just tht hit my mind right now (though there r so many like this) ... cz it has some same scenario ... the mother losing her son ... recalling his words ... and all that.

Just wanted to say that we need to calm us down in every unfavorable scenario and for every not-so-good thing with an approach that every thing which has to be happened, happens for some reason ... sometime we know the reason ... sometime we can't get it, but still it is there.

May ALLAH bless us strength ... Aameen

(and freek if can edit the title, do it "His decisions" ... cz its for ALLAH)

the letter of the boy and the love of the mother is comendable. it is touchy.
However, it is my personal opinion that for some parts of the letter, it is something that the christians believe and we muslims do not. (for example nauzobillah sitting on God's knees etc).

but then again, ye mera opinion hai:) no one has to agree to it:)

[AQN]

Its not ur opinion ... its our Faith and everyone believe in it.

The matter nobody highlighted or focused on that part is just bcz we all know its a fiction not the real story ... its about the expression of emotions n feeling and pain ... n of course u know it as well but I understand that it feels weird at times to agree or go with the words if it has something like that ... which we know isn't true ... but which is also too less important (in terms which is understood and beyong argument) to focus on ....

I feel this way too :) but manage to stay with the msg of the text :)

[HULK]

hmmm, well here is a bit of difference of opinion behna:).
from whatever i have learnt, we are not supposed to bring in God in jokes and with disrespectful way of referring, whereas kuffars do it quite easily.

As a matter of fact, what may seem benign in the beginning may lead to destruction at the end of the day.

anyways, i didnt mean to object, i simply wanted to highlight that the text, the matter, anything is not so important that we forget or overlook the little things that may seem petite to us, but who knows may be those are the things that may cause us to commit bigger sins that we are unaware of:).

I have given up poetry behna. And the reason is I am too afraid to be using phrases that might buy me wrath of ALLAH SWT. So I preferred to stay away from anything that could (not sure but whereever there is doubt) bring unwanted and unintentioned sins to me.

One more thing, I know you may think that it is intention that matters. But the thing is on various occassions, with reference of Quran and Hadith I have learnt that if we have doubts, we should not do it.

but I think this may lead this thread into something else, therefore i shall excuse myself from further debating on this issue:)

[AQN]

Arey nahi bro ... its not the matter of difference in opinion ... I completely understand ur point ... and I too don't enjoy such things where we make fun by using anything like that or just use it as fiction ... the thing to post tht msg in reply to ur msg wasn't "disagreement" but letting u know that we all took it the same way as u did ...

the only difference was ... that u mentioned that while we didn't.
