Heart touching message.........................

Dear All,

A touching STORY......... must read...... friend mail......
 
 
I was walking around in a Big Bazar 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: ''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 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.
