She 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 needed you?”
The surgeon asked, “Would wewe 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 alisema goodbye to her son. She ran her fingers lovingly through his thick red curly hair. Would wewe like a lock of his 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 chuo kikuu, chuo kikuu cha for Study. He alisema it might help somebody else. “I alisema no at first, but Jimmy said, “Mom, I won’t be using it after I die. Maybe it will help some other little boy spend one zaidi siku with his Mom.”
She went on, “My Jimmy had a moyo 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 there. She put the bag with Jimmy’s belongings on the kiti, kiti cha beside her in the car.
The drive nyumbani 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 kitanda and, hugging his pillow, cried herself to sleep.
It was around midnight when Sally awoke. Laying beside her on the kitanda 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, au stop loving you, just ‘cause I’m not around to say ‘I upendo You’. I will always upendo you, Mom, even zaidi with each day. Someday we will see each other again. Until then, if wewe want to adopt a little boy so wewe won’t be so lonely, that’s okay with me. He can have my room and old stuff to play with. But, if wewe decide to get a girl instead, she probably wouldn’t like the same things us boys do You’ll have to buy her dolls and stuff girls like, wewe know. Don’t be sad thinking about me. This really is a neat place. Grandma and Grandpa met me as soon as I got here and showed me around some, but it will take a long time to see everything. The angels are so cool. I upendo to watch them fly. And, wewe 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 wewe a letter, to tell wewe goodbye and everything. But I already knew that wasn’t allowed. Well, wewe know what Mom? God handed me some paper and His own personal pen to write wewe this letter. I think Gabriel is the name of the Angel who is going to drop this letter off to you. God alisema for me to give wewe the answer to one of the maswali wewe asked Him, ‘Where was He when I needed him?’ God alisema 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, kwa 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 zaidi names in the Book of Life. Tonight I get to sit at the meza, jedwali with Jesus for supper. I’m sure the chakula 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 alisema I was a Special Delivery! How about that Mom?
Signed with upendo from God, Jesus & Me. I can’t wait until wewe get here, too.”
