Sad True Love Story
A Boy's Love Part 2
A
Son's Love Part 1
Then, he showed me a very nice photo of him where he was laughing.
He told me, “I also want Mommy to take this photo with
her so that she will not forget me.”
“I love my Mommy and I wish she didn't have to leave
me but Daddy says that she has to go and join my little sister.”
Then he looked at the doll again quietly with sad eyes.
I quickly reached for my wallet and took a few dollars
out.
I said to the boy, “What if we checked again, just
in case, to see if you have enough money?”
“Okay. I hope that I have enough.” he said.
I added some of my money into his without him seeing and
we started to count it together. There was enough for the
doll with some spare money.
The little boy said, “Thank you God for giving me
enough money.”
Then he looked at me and added, “Yesterday, I asked
God before I slept to make sure that I have enough money
to buy this doll so that mommy can give it to my sister.
He must have 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.
However, he gave me enough to buy the doll and the white
rose. You know, my mommy loves white roses.”
The old lady came back a few minutes later and I left.
I finished my shopping in a totally different state of
mind from when I started. I couldn't get the little boy
out of my mind. Suddenly, I remembered an article in the
local newspaper two days ago which is about a traffic accident.
In the accident, a truck driven by a drunk driver hit a
car. There was a young lady and a little girl inside the
car. 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-support machine because the
young lady would not be able to get out of the coma.
Was that the family of the little boy?
Two days after the encounter with the little boy, I read
in the newspaper that the young lady had passed away.
I couldn't stop myself from buying a bunch of white roses
and going to the mortuary where the body of the young lady
will be placed for people to pay their final respects before
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 crying as I felt that my life had been
changed forever.
The love that the little boy had for his mother and sister
is still, to this day, hard to imagine. In a fraction of
a second, the drunk driver took all this away from him.
