True Love Stories
A Boy's Love Part 1
A
Son's Love Part 2
On the last day before Christmas, I hurried to the stores
to buy the remaining gifts I didn't manage to buy earlier.
When I saw all the people there, I started to complain
to myself. It is going to take forever here and I still
have so many other places to go. Christmas is really getting
more and more annoying every year. How I wish I could just
lie down, go to sleep and only wake up after it...
Nonetheless, I made my way to the toys section. Once I
was there, I started to curse at the prices as I wonder
if all kids really play with such expensive toys.
While looking in the toys section, I noticed a small boy
of about five years old, pressing a doll against his chest.
He kept on touching the hair of the doll and looked very
sad. I wondered who he wanted to give the doll to.
The little boy turned to the old woman next to him and said,
“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.”
Following that, she asked him to stay put for five minutes
while she went to look around. She left quickly.
The little boy was still holding the doll in his hands.
Finally, I walked towards him and asked him who he wanted
to give the doll to.
“It is the doll that my sister loved most and wanted
so much for this Christmas. She was so sure that Santa Claus
would bring it to her.”
I told him that maybe Santa Claus will bring it to her
after all and not to worry.
However, he replied sadly, “No, Santa Claus cannot
bring it to where she is now. I have to give the doll to
my mother so that she can give it to her when she goes there.”
His eyes looked so sad while saying this.
“My sister has gone to be with God. Daddy said that
Mommy will also join God very soon so I thought that she
can bring 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 asked him to wait until I
come back from the store.”
