I was walking around in a
Big Bazaar store making shopping, when I saw a Cashier talking to a
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 me and
asked: ''Uncle, are you sure I don't have enough money?''
I counted his cash and replied: ''You know that
you don't have enough money to buy the doll, my dear.'' 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 . I wanted to Gift her for her BIRTHDAY.
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 my sister 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 with out 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.'
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 news paper 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 news paper 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 for ever...
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.
