Farewell of a Little Boy
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 anymore? Where were you, God, when my son needed you?’
The surgeon asked, ‘Would you like some time alone with your son? One 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 thinking of someone else, always wanting to help others if he could.’

That means we are not required to wear thick winter coats. During the nights we have the option to turn on the air-conditioning unit or just open the windows to [Read more...]
being allergic to dust and grass
Sometimes I hate my skin for being so allergic to dust and grass. It hinders me to do what I want to do in the garden or any outdoor activities. Also, I have to change and wash the bedding every now and then. But, I can’t change the mattress every now and then because that would be too costly and such a waste of money. Good thing I found [Read more...]

happy to buy the window treatment
Yepey! I am happy very happy that hubby and I were able to buy the blinds we planned and saved for a long time. At first, I thought about purchasing curtains. I am inspired by the curtains Richmond, VA I found in the web. However, as I weigh the benefits I opt for blinds instead. One of the many reasons I have, is the laundry. I don’t like [Read more...]
problems arises again
I promised myself not to mind any household problems for the sake of Christmas. However, the strong rain last night put me to the test. But, I have to be calm even if there are leaks in the roof. Our landlady says that every leak in this house is already fixed. I believed her, but it’s not true. According to the previous renters, one of [Read more...]
