Hey, everyone who reads this (a grand total of : no one) !
Been fairly busy the last few days... busy with school, guitar, dance, life - stuff like that. Um, not too much going on here now, though. Family's all settled down, I'm on the computer, dad's putting the little guys to bed.... it's very peaceful.

This was a moving and very sad email that I recieved... but it's happy at the same time. Hope you enjoy it!

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 any more ? Where were you, God, when
my son needed you ?"
The surgeon asked, "Would you like some ti me alone with your son ? O ne 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 said good bye to son. She ran her fingers lovingly through his thick red curly hair. "Would you 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 University for Study. He said it might help somebody else. "I said 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 more day with his Mom." She went on, "My Jimmy had a heart of gold. Always t h in king 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 seat beside her in the car.
The drive home 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 bed and, hugging his pillow, cried herself to sleep.
It was around midnight when Sally awoke. Laying beside her on the bed 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, or stop 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 see 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 p la y w ith. But, if you 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, you 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 love to watch them fly. And, you 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 you a letter, to tell you good bye and everything. But I already knew that wasn't allowed. Well, you 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 answ er 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 on the cross. He was right there, as He always is with all His children. Oh, by 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 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 forg ot 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 could n't stand to see me hurt so much , either. That's when He sent The Angel of Mercy to come get me. The Angel said I was a Special Delivery ! How about that ?
Signed with Love from God, Jesus & Me.

So, I heard of this contest from (you guessed it!) my friend! One of the rules is you have to post this shortcut on your blog so that lots of others can hear of it too, and hopefully join in the fun. Now, I'm not sure if this is going to work, but it's worth a try...

Hopefully, it works! 
PS. This is the new link thoughtfully given by the author of the book herself! Thanks!

Okay, this is defenitly new.
Hi, I'm me, and my dear friend directed me to this site, so if you find me incredibly annoying..... blame her. No, no, not really! So. How do I start? Well, I am a homeschooled kid (which you can tell because of my superior grammar and spelling skills!) and I'm really happy about that, although it's sometimes tough trying to make good friends with kids who are in regular school. I've always really liked reading and writing, and one day I would like to become an author, although I'm not quite sure if that's a reasonable aspiration right now (I love using big words... just ignore them). Well, gotta dash, hopefully I'll be blogging here again soon!
