Then he asked me if I wanted to see his picture. I told him I would love to. He pulled out some pictures and said " I want my mom to take this with her so she dont ever forget me. I love my mom so much and i washed she did not have to leave me. But dad says she will need to be with my sister.
I saw that little boy had lowered his head and had grown so quiet. Then, I had a thought. While she was not looking I reached into my wallet and pulled out some cash. I asked the little boy " Shall we count that money one more time?"
After hearing that he was excited and said "Yes... I really hope I got enough money". Thus, I slipped my money in with his and we began to count it. And of course it was plenty for the doll. He said softly , " I wanted to buy my mom a white rose, she loves white roses very much".
In a few minutes, his aunt came back and I wheeled my cart away. I could not thinking about the little boy as I finished my shopping in a totally different mood than when I had started. And I kept remembering a story I had seen in the newspaper several days ago about a drunk driver hit a car of a family of four which was on their way to holiday and caused a girl passed away and her mother in the ICU ward. The family was deciding on whether to remove the life support.
Two days later I read in the paper that the family had disconnected the life support and the young woman had died. I could not forget the little boy and wondered if the two were somehow connected. Then, I could not help myself and went to the funeral... The place was packed and there people giving out white roses. I saw the young woman who had passed away was holding a lovely white rose, the beautiful doll and the last but not least.... The picture that the little boy showed me in the store....
I felt a lump in my throat. The love that little boy had for his mom and sister was overwhelming. I had great sympathy for the little boy as in a split second... A drunk driver had ripped the life of that little boy to pieces...
The world now need to change... For every foolish mistake u make every single day can just turn somebody's life around so before u make a decision in life... think twice.... neko :)
