Read the following passage carefully.
Sally 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 alright? 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 goodbye to son. She ran her fingers through his curly hair. “Would you like a lock of his hair?” the nurse said. She cut a lock of the boy’s hair and gave it to Sally in a plastic bag. Sally said, “It was Jimmy’s idea to donate his body to the university for study. He said it might help somebody else,” she continued, “My Jimmy had a heart of gold. Always thinking of someone else. Always wanting to help others if he could”.
