My best friend Justin Auten sent this to me. It gave me teh shivers and made me think.
The Doll and the Rose
I was walking around in a Target store, when I saw a Cashier hand this little boy
some money back. The boy couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 years old.
The Cashier said, "I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy this doll."
Then the little boy turned to the old woman next to him: ''Granny, are you sure I
don't have enough money?''
The old lady replied: ''You know that you don't have enough money to buy this
doll, my dear.''
Then she asked him to stay there for just 5 minutes while she went to look around.
She left quickly.
The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand.
Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished to give this doll to.
"It's the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for Christmas. She was
sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her."
I replied to him that maybe Santa Claus would bring it to her after all, and not to
worry.
But he replied to me sadly. "No, Santa Claus can't bring it to her where she is now.
I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she
goes there."
His eyes were so sad while saying this. "My Sister has gone to be with God. Daddy
says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take
the doll with her to give it to my sister.''
My heart nearly stopped.
The little boy looked up at me and said: "I told daddy to tell mommy not to go yet.
I need her to wait until I come back from the mall."
Then he showed me a very nice photo of him where he was laughing. He then told me "I
want mommy to take my picture with her so she won't forget me. "
"I love my mommy and I wish she didn't have to leave me, but daddy says that 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 said to the boy. "Suppose we check again, just
in case you do have enough money for the doll?''
"OK," he said, "I hope I do have enough." I added some of my money to his without
him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some
spare money.
The little boy said: "Thank you God for giving me enough money!"
Then he looked at me and added, "I asked last night before I went to sleep for God
to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that mommy could give It to my
sister. He heard me!''
"I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didn't
dare to ask God for too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white
rose.''
"My mommy loves white roses."
A few minutes later, the old lady returned and I left with my basket.
I finished my shopping in a totally different state from when I started. I couldn't
get the little boy out of my mind.
Then I remembered a local newspaper article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk
man in a truck, who hit a car occupied by a young woman 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-sustainin
because the young woman would not be able to recover from the coma.
Was this the family of the little boy?
Two days after this encounter with the little boy, I read in the newspaper that the
young woman had passed away.
I couldn't stop myself as I bought a bunch of white roses and I went
to the funeral home where the body of the young woman was exposed for
people to see and make last wishes before her 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, teary-eyed, feeling that my life had been changed forever. The
love that the 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 driver had taken all this
away from him.

The quote of the month is by Jay Leno:
"With hurricanes, tornadoes, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe
thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of
bird flu and terrorist attacks, "Are we sure this is a good time to take God out of
the Pledge of Allegiance?"
For those who prefer to think that God is not watching over us....go ahead and
delete this. For the rest of us... pass this on.

As part of National Teen Driver Safety Week, which runs October 19-25, PennDOT is
reminding teen drivers and their parents/guardi
cause most teen driver crashes.
In 2007, there were 9,833 crashes involving a 16 or 17-year-old driver in
Pennsylvania, resulting in 104 fatalities. Although more than one factor may
contribute to a crash, statistics show that driving too fast for conditions, driver
inexperience, and improper or careless turning were the main contributors. In fact
37 percent of the total crashes involving a 16 or 17-year-old driver in 2007
involved at least one of these factors. Driver distractions such as cell phone use,
text messaging, other teen passengers in the vehicle, adjusting the radio or eating
while driving were factors in another 1,000 of the total crashes.
The risk of a crash involving any of these factors can be reduced through practice,
limiting the number of passengers a teen driver can have in a vehicle, setting a
good example for the teen driver, abiding by the law and exercising common sense.

Manual and the How to Steer Them to Safe Driving Manual, visit www.dmv.state.

Lexi is mourning the loss of Hayden Crow, a fine guy, really cute, too… and funny… and all that… The Haydonians shall miss their leader, but embrace their new dictator with open arms… Yes, we shall al miss him, he was a good king, kind and just. He was lovable, especially when I led him away in [pink fluffy handcuffs]… Nay, Nay, I foresee ‘tis my doom to live a Hayden-less life.
*cries* Oh, my doom ‘tis such a bitter one!!!!
The days were bright and warm, but my nights were cold and dark, and yet I froze while my heart burned on with each thought of you….
A HUGE Thank you to [Sir Riddle] for introducing me to this song ^^

Gaudeamus igitur,
Juvenes dum sumus,
Post jucundam juventutem,
Post molestam senectumtem,
Nos exspectat chelum.
Nunc cantemus igitur
Dum nos una sumus
hic in mudo, hic in schola,
Inter nostri amicosd caros
Nam mane eos amanus.
Vivat acedmia,
Vivant profesores,
Vivat membrum quolibet,
Vivant membra quaelibet,
Semper sint in flore!
Vivat nostra societas
Vivant studiosi
Crescat una veritas
Floreat frternitas
Patriae prosperitas
Alma Mater floreat
Quae nos educavit
CAros et commilitones
Dissitas in regiones
Sparsos, congregavit.
