I was walking around in a Target store, when I saw a Cashier hand this
little boy some money back.
The boy couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 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: ''Granny, 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. 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 mommy 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 Mommy 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 mommy not
to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall.'
Then he showed me a very nice photo of him where he was laughing. He
then told me 'I want mommy to take my picture with her so she won't forget
me.'
'I love my mommy and I wish she doesn'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 mommy
could give It to my sister. He heard me!''
'I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy,
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 mommy loves white roses.'
A few minutes l ater, the old lady returned and I left with my basket.
I finished my shopping in a totally different state from when I started.
I couldn't get the little boy out of my mind.
Then I remembered a local newspaper 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 pull the plug on 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
newspaper 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 exposed 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
forever.... 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.
'With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding,
severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and
with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, 'Are we sure this is
a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?'

For those who like to drink cold water, this article
is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal.
However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just
consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this "sludge" reacts with the
acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the
solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats
and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm
water after a meal.
A serious note about heart
attacks - You
should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm
hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw
line.
You may
never have the first chest
pain during the
course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common
symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not
wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and
be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could
survive.
