Forum PointsI was walking around in a BigBazar 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 . 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.
