A Heart touching Story

Really heart touching... 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.
Please DO NOT DRINK &
DRIVE. Now you have 2 choices:
1) Forward this message,
or
2) Ignore it as if it never
touched your heart. For those who prefer to
think that God is not
watching over us.... go
ahead and ignore this.
For
the rest of us..... pass this on.
The value of a man or
woman resides in what he
or she gives, not in
what they are
Capable of receiving.
