| Life Story of a boy for family |
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? He said, OK, I hope I do have enough. I added some
of my money to him without 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 newspaper 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.
Life Story of boy for family
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 newspaper that the young woman had passed away. I couldn’t
stop myself. 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
forever…
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…
Moral:
Respect life, Follow and Obey Rules. Don’t make anyone else pay and bear for
your mistakes. Do not make mistakes that cost others something that can
never be replaced. Always have a giving hand and extend your help to those in
need and sorrow.
