please read, it's so adorable.(= I was walking around in a
Target store, when I saw a Cashier hand this little boy some money
back. The 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 the old
woman next to him: ''Granny, are you sure I don't have
enough money?'' The old lady replied: ''You know
that you don't have enough money to buy this doll, my
dear.'' Then she asked him to stay there for just 5 minutes
while she went to look a round. She left quickly. 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
for Christmas. She was sure that Santa Claus would bring it to
her.' I replied to him that maybe Santa Claus would bring it to
her after all, and not to worry. But he replied to me sadly.
'No, Santa Claus can't bring it to her where she is now. 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. DRUNK DRIVING. He then told me 'I
want mommy to take my picture with her so she 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.' A few
minutes later, the old lady returned and I left with my basket. 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. Now you have two choices ; 1) Repost this message. 2) Or
