DOLL and White roses:
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. 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 checkagain, 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 youngwoman and a little girl.The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a criticalstate. The family had to decide whether to pull the plug on thelife-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.

The value of a man or woman resides in what he or she gives, not in what they are capable of receiving...........

Fairy story. But once when a student I saw a 8/9 year old boy sorting through the street bins in Camden High Street London. I took him into the nearest supermarket and bought him a bag of food. That was the last £2 I had. A week later I was thrown out of my lodgings.

What true love is all about:
It Was A Busy Morning,

About 8:30, When An Elderly Gentleman In His 80's Arrived To Have
Stitches Removed From His Thumb.

He Said He Was In A Hurry As He Had An Appointment At 9:00 am.
I Took His Vital Signs And Had Him

Take A Seat,

Knowing it Would Be Over An Hour

Before Someone Would To Able To See Him.

I Saw Him Looking At His Watch And Decided,

Since I Was Not Busy With Another
Patient,

I Would Evaluate His Wound.

On Exam, it Was Well Healed,

So I Talked To One Of The Doctors,

Got The Needed Supplies To
Remove His Sutures And Redress His Wound.
While Taking Care Of His wound,

I Asked Him if He Had Another Doctor's Appointment This Morning,

As He Was in Such A Hurry.
The Gentleman Told Me No,

That He Needed To Go To The Nursing Home To Eat Breakfast

With His Wife.

I Inquired As To Her Health.
He Told Me That She Had Been There
for A While And That She Was A Victim Of Alzheimer's Disease.
As We Talked,

I Asked if She Would Be Upset if He Was A Bit Late.
He Replied That She No Longer Knew Who He Was,

That She Had Not Recognized Him in
Five Years Now.
I Was Surprised,

And Asked Him, '

And You Still Go Every Morning,

Even Though She Doesn't Know Who You Are?'
He Smiled As He Patted My Hand

And Said,
'She Doesn't Know Me,

But I Still Know Who She is.'

I read both of them. I will find two bankers to kick. One of them will wear a £2000 suit and the other one a £2000 dress.
