almost cried.
I have decided to share it

TRUE STORY HAPPENED IN
INDIA.
;-(
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: ''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
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.
