I remembered last Christmas I hurried into the local department store to grab some last minute Christmas gifts for the kids in my church. I looked at all the people and grumbled to myself. I would be in here forever and I just had so much to do. Christmas was beginning to be a drag for me :/ ... I wished that I could just sleep through Christmas. But I hurried the best I could through all the people to the toy department.
I found myself in the doll aside. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a little boy about five holding a lovely doll. He kept touching her hair and he held her so gently. I kept looking over at the little boy. I mean is just a doll, why is he acting as if the doll is his everything. I watched him turn to a woman and he called his aunt by name and said, " Are you sure I dont have enough money for the doll?"
She replied a bit impatiently, " You know that you dont have enough money for it." The aunt told the little boy not to go anywhere that she had some errand to run and will be back in a few minutes. And then she left. The boy continued to hold the doll. After a while, I went and asked the boy who the doll was for.
He said, " It is the doll my sister wanted so badly for Christmas. She just knew that Santa would bring it"
I told him that maybe Santa was going to bring it.. He replied," No, Santa cant go to where my sister is" " I have to give the doll to my mom to take to her".
I did not understand what he said thus I asked where his sister was. He looked at me with the saddest eyes and said " She in heaven. My dad says that mom is going to have to go to be with her soon."
That moment.. my heart nearly stopped beating.. The boy then continued " I told my dad to tell my mom to wait until I got back from the store".
I will continue my experience in around these 3 days so stay tuned :).. Neko >o<
