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 lay down across his bed and, hugging  
his pillow, cried herself to sleep.

It was around midnight when Sally awoke. Lying 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.

( Let's see Satan stop this one.) Take 60 seconds and repost this, within the hour,  
you will have caused a multitude of believers to pray to God for each other.
Then sit back and feel the Holy Spirit work in your life for doing what you  
know God loves 'When you're down to nothing, God is up to something.'
