I thought I would post this here as reminder to all of us this holiday season. This is an article from a local paper here, The Kawartha Sun.

On the last day before Christmas, I hurried to go to the supermarket to buy the remaining of the gifts I didnt manage to buy earlier. When I saw all the people there, I started to complain to myself: It is going to take forever here and I still have so many other places to go.
Christmas reallt is getting more and more annoying every year. Hoe I wish I could lie down , go to sleep and wake up only after it...'Nonetheless, I made my way to the toy section, and there I started to curse the prices, wondering if after all kids really play with such expensive toys.
While looking in the toy section, I noticed a small boy of about 5 yrs old, pressing a doll against his chest. He kept on touching the hair of the doll and looked so sad. I wondered who this doll was for. Then the little boy turned to the old woman next to him: "Granny are you sure I dont have enough money?" The old lady replied" You know that you dont have enough money to buy this doll, my dear" Then she asked him to stay there for 5 minutes while she went to look around. She left quickly.
The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand. Finally, I started to walk towards him and I asked who he wanted to give the doll to." It is the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for this Christmas. She was so sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her" I replied to hik that maybe Santa Claus will bring it to her afterall, and not to worry. But he replied to me sadly" No, Santa Claus cannot bring it to her where she is now. I have to give the doll to my mother so that she can give it to her when she goes there"
His eyes were so sad while saying this. " My sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mummy will also go to see God very soon, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give to my sister". My heart nearly stopped. The little boy looked up at me ans said"I told Daddy to tell Mummy not to go yet.I asked him to wait untill I came back from the supermarket."
Then he showed me a very nice photo of him where he was laughing. He then told me " I also want my Mummy to take this photo with her so that she will not forget me. I love my Mummy and I wish she didnt have toleave me but Daddy says she has to go to be with my little sister." Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly. I quickly reached for my wallet and took a few notes and said to the boy, " What if we checked again, just in case you have enough money?" "Ok" He said. " I hope that I have enough."
I added some of money to his without him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some left over. The little boy said:"Thank you God for giving me enough money." Then he looked at me and added:"I asked yesterday before I went to sleep for God to make sure I have enough money to buy this doll so that Mummy can give it to my sister. He heard me> I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my Mummy, but didnt dare ask God too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and the white rose."You know, my Mummy loves white roses".
A few minutes later, the old lady came back again and I left with my trolley. I finished my shopping in a totally different state from when I started. I couldnt get the little boy out of my mind.
Then I remembered a local newspaper article 2 days ago, which mentioned of a drunk man in a truck who hit a car where there was a young lady and a little girl. The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state. The family had to decide whether to pull the plug on the life-assisting machine, because the young lady would not be able to get out of the coma. Was this the family of the little boy?
Two days after the encounter with the little boy, I read in the newspaper that the young lady had passed away. I couldnt stop myself and went to buy a bunch of white roses and I went to the mortuary where the body of the young woman was exposed for people to see and make last wish before burial. She was there, in her coffin, holding a beautiful white rose in her hand with the photo of the little boy and the doll placed over her chest. I left the place crying, feeling that my life had been changed forever. The love that this little boy had for his mother and his sister is still, to this day hard to imagine. And in a fraction of a second, a drunk man had taken all this away from him.

I read this on a Snowmachine message board and thought I'd share it with you guys!!!!

Pass this message on to your loved ones, maybe you will help prevent someone drink from driving.

Please have a safe holiday and drink responsibly

I guess everyone is too cool to reply. That almost made me cry. I will keep that in mind while I'm out partying.

It's so easy to take everything for granted. It's only when you lose something precious that you realize what you've really lost.

Everyone have a safe and happy holidays!

Peace,Kyle
