This is beautiful! Try not to cry.
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 ranher 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 plasticbag 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, butJimmy said, 'Mom, I won't be using it after I die. Maybe it will help someother 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 tohelp others if he could.' Sally walked out of Children's Mercy Hospital for the last time, after spendingmost 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. Shecarried Jimmy's belongings, and the plastic bag with the lock of his hair toher son's room. She started placing the model cars and other personal things back in his roomexactly 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 afolded letter. The letter said : 'Dear Mom,
I know you're going to miss me; but don't think that I willever forget you, or stop loving you, just 'cause I'm not around to say 'I Love You' . I will always loveyou, Mom, even more with each day. Someday we will see each other again. Untilthen, 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 toget 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 assoon as I got here and showed me around some, but it will take a long time tosee everything. The angels are so cool. I love to watch them fly. And, you know w! hat? Jesus doesn't look like any of his pictures. Yet, when I saw Him, Iknew it was Him. Jesus himself took me to see GOD !
And guess what, Mom ? I gotto 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 andeverything. 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 toyou.
God said for me to give you the answer to one of the questions you askedHim '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 Healways is with all His children. Oh, by the way, Mom, no one else can see whatI've written except you. To everyone else this is ! just a blank piece of paper. Isn't that cool ? I have to g ive God His pen back now He needs it towrite some more names in the Book of Life. Tonight I get to sit at the tablewith 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 tosee 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.

Sales, sales and more sales!
Oh what a wonderful world. For anyone who knows me I am all about coupons and finding the best deal. I clip coupons every Sunday and have a super way to organize them. I rarely if ever pay full price for anything. I know it will go on sale eventually and if it doesn't I am not meant to have it. Well, this is my favorite time of year. I also vowed that this year I would be all done Shopping for Christmas before December. Yes that's right! As a child I remember my grandmother buying gifts as early as January and I would think how crazy, but now as an adult I say what a wonderful idea. Lol I started shopping today and not on purpose at all. You see I went to Target to buy a birthday gift for a birthday party this weekend only to find they had four aisles of toys at 75% off. Oh what a wonderful sign to see up. So I got stuff for birthdays and gifts for next year at Christmas and already have two people off my list for next Christmas. I got so much stuff and spent little one thing I got retailed not so long ago for $80 and I got it for $20.
Another great store is also having an amazing sale. That store is Old Navy. They are having the additional 50% off the clearance prices. What a great time to stock up if you have little ones on the next size up. I went last year and for my son pants for 5 buck when I would normally pay twenty.
Fred Meyer I hear is also having an additional 40% of their clearance prices including house hold items.
If you are a thrifty shopper you too know what a great time of year this is and will most likely be doing what I will be doing this weekend and that is SHOPPING!
