> > She opened the letter, it said:

> > Dear Mom,

> > I know your going to miss me, but don't think that I will ever forget you

> > or stop loving you because I'm not around to say I LOVE YOU. I'll think of

> > you every day mom and I'll love you even more each day. Some day we will

> > see each other again. If you want to adopt a little boy so you won't be so

> > lonely, he can have my room and my old stuff to play with. If you decide to

> > get a girl instead, she probably wouldn't like the same things as us boys

> > do, so you will have to buy her dolls and stuff girls like. Don't be sad

> > when you think about me, this is really a great 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 here. The angels are so friendly, I love to

> > watch them fly. Jesus doesn't look like any of the pictures I saw of Him,

> > but I knew it was Him as soon as I saw Him. Jesus 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. I told GOD that I wanted to write you a letter and tell

> > you Good-bye and everything, but I knew that wasn't allowed. God handed me

> > some paper and His own personal pen to write you this letter with. I think

> > is the name of the angel that is going to drop this letter off to

> > you. God said for me to give you the answer to one of the questions you

> > asked Him about. Where was He when I needed him? God said, " The same place

> > He was when Jesus was on the Cross. He was right there, as He always is

> > with all His children. Oh, by the way Mom, nobody else can see what is

> > written on this paper but you. To everyone else, it looks like a blank

> > piece of paper. I have to give God His pen back now, he has some more names

> > to write in the Book Of Life. Tonight I get to sit at the table with Jesus

> > for Supper. I'm sure the food will be great. I almost forgot to let you

> > know - Now 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 suffer the pain either, so He sent the

> > Angel of Mercy to get me. The Angel said I was Special Delivery!
