Lesson 18 The Invisible Letter

Guidance

To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world. What did the little boy do to save her mother’s world? 对于世界而言，你是一个人，但是对于某个人，你是他的整个世界。小男孩是如何拯救母亲的世界的？

Sally jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon come out of the operating room. She said: “How is my little boy? Is he going to be all right? When can I see him?”

The surgeon said: “I’m sorry. We did all we could, but your boy didn’t make it.”

Sally said, “Why do little children get cancer? Doesn’t God care anymore? Where were you, God, when my son need?”

The surgeon asked. “Would you like some time alone with your son? One of the nurses will be out in a few minutes, before he’s transported to the University.”

Sally asked the nurse to stay with her while she said good-bye to her son. She ran her fingers lovingly through his thick red curly hair. 

“Would you like a lock of the boy’s hair?” the nurse asked.

Sally nodded yes.

The nurse cut a lock of the boy’s hair, put it in a plastic bag and handed it to Sally.

The mother said, “It was Jimmy’s idea to donate his body to the University for study. He said it might help somebody else.” I said no at first, but Jimmy said: “Mom, I won’t be using it after I die. Maybe it’ll help some other boy spend one more day with his mom.”

She went on, “My Jimmy had a heart of gold. Always thinking of someone else. Always wanting to help others if he could.” Sally walked out of Children’s Mercy Hospital for the last time, after spending most of the last six months here. She put the bag with Jimmy’s belongings on the seat beside her car.

The drive home was difficult.

It was even harder to enter the empty house.

She carried Jimmy’s belongings, and the plastic bag with the lock of his hair to her son’s room. She started placing the model cars and other personal things, back in his room exactly where he had always kept them. She laid down across his bed and, hugging his pillow, cried herself to sleep.

It was around midnight when Sally awoke. Lying beside her on the bed was a folded letter...

The letter said:

Dear mom,

I know you’re going to miss me; but don’t think that I will ever forget you, or stop loving you, just because I’m not around to say I LOVE YOU. I will always love you. Mom, even more with each day.

Someday we will see each other again. Until then, if you want to adopt a little boy so you won’t be so lonely, that’s okay with me.

He can have my room, and old stuff to play with.

But if you decide to get a girl instead, she probably wouldn’t like the same things us boys do you know.

Don’t be sad thinking about me. This really is a neat place. Grandma and grandpa met me as soon as I got there and showed me around some, but it will take a long time to see everything. The angels are so cool. I love to watch them fly. And, you know what? Jesus doesn’t look like any of his pictures. Yet, when I saw Him, I knew it was Him.

Jesus himself took me to see God! And guess what, mom? I got to sit on God’s knee and talk to Him, like I was somebody important.

That’s when I told Him that I wanted to write you a letter, to tell you good-bye and everything.

But already I knew that wasn’t allowed. Well, you know what mom? God handed me some paper and His own personal pen to write you this letter.

I think Garbriel is the angel who is going to drop this letter to you. God said for me to give you the answer to one of the questions you asked Him— “Where was He when I needed him?”

God said, He was in the same place with me, as when His son Jesus was on the cross. He was right there, as He always is with all His children.

Oh, by the way, mom, no one else can see what I’ve written except you. To everyone else this is just a blank piece of paper. Isn’t that cool?

I have to give God His pen back now. He needs it to write some more names in the Book of life.

Tonight I get to sit at the table with Jesus for supper. I’m sure the food will be great. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, I don’t hurt anymore. The cancer is all gone. I’m glad because I couldn’t stand that pain anymore...and God couldn’t stand to see me hurt so much, either. That’s when He sent The Angel of Mercy to come get me. The Angel said I was Special Delivery! How about that?
