A
TRUE STORY
Spend some time to
read this! Really touching!
THE VALUE OF A MAN OR WOMAN RESIDES IN
WHAT HE OR SHE GIVES,
NOT IN WHAT HE OR SHE IS
CAPABLE OF RECEIVING..
I
was walking around in a Big Bazar store making shopping, when I saw a
Cashier alking to
a boy couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 years old. The Cashier said,
'I'm sorry, sorry,
but you don't have enough money to buy this doll. Then the little boy
turned to me and asked: ''Aunty, 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 dolll, 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 . Iwanted 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 aid: '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
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 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.
