> > >loving you, just 'cause I'm not around to say I LOVE YOU.
> > >I will always love you, Mom, even more with each day. Someday we will

> > >each other
> > >again. Until then, if you want to adopt a little boy so you won't be
> > >so lonely, that's okay with me. He can have my room, and old stuff to

> > >like the same things us boys do. You'll have to buy her dolls and
> > >stuff girls like, y'know.
> > >
> > >"Don't be sad thinking about me. This really is a neat place. Grandma

> > >
> > >but it will take a long time to see everything. The angels are so cool.

> > >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 you a letter, to tell you
> > >goodbye and everything. But I already knew that wasn't allowed.
> > >"Well, y'know what Mom? God handed me some paper and
> > >His own personal pen to write you this letter. I think Gabriel is the
> > >name of the angel who 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--'Where was He when I needed him?'
> > >
> > >God said He was in the same place with me, as when His son Jesus was

> > >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 more names 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.

> > >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
