Sharing wif u guys 1 story. But the story is from my friend Karen, hope she don't mind me copy her post. I know is copyrights but really wan to share wif u guys this touching story.

The story title is Life is too unpredictable, that's when Regrets starts entering...

The story goes like this....

On the eve of Christmas, I had to hurry to the supermarket to purchase the remaining gifts that has yet to be bought. Upon arrival, i was dismayed by the huge crowds & started grumbling to myself, "It is going to freakingly take forever and I still have many other places to rush to...Christmas really is getting more and more annoying each year. How I wish I could just lie in my bed, go to sleep and only wake up after it..."

Nonetheless, I made my way to the toy section & was again put off by the sky high price tags on them, cursing why do kids have the luxury of the expensive toys nowadays. While browsing, I noticed a small boy of about 5 years old, pressing a doll tightly against his chest.He kept on stroking the long locks of the doll with a sad expression. It made me ponder why would a boy want a doll instead of cars & who was it really meant for. The little boy then turned & spoke to the old lady next to him, "Granny, are you sure I don't have enough money?" The old lady replied, "You do know that you don't have enough money to buy this doll, my dear." After that, she asked him to stay at where he was for 5 minutes & she left in a haste to grab her stuffs.

The little boy was still holding on to the doll in his arms. Out of curiousity, I walked toward him and questioned him who was the doll meant for. He sadly replied, "It's specially meant for my sister. It is the doll that she loved most and wanted so much for this Christmas. She was so sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her." In consolation, I told him that Santa Claus will definitely bring the doll to her hence not to worry. He mumbled with tears-brimmed eyes, "No, Santa Claus cannot bring it to 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." Tears finally rolled down his cheeks as he continued, "My sister has already left to be with God. Daddy say that Mummy will also be leaving very soon to be with God, so I thought that she could bring the doll with her to give it to my sister"

My heart sank immediately upon hearing it, accompanied with instantaneous pangs of heartaches. The little boy looked up at me and said, "I told daddy to tell mummy not to leave so soon until i am back from the supermarket" He then reached into his pocket for a very heartwarming photo of him where he was laughing together with his mum. He continued, "I also want mummy to bring along this photo with her so that she will not forget me. I love my mummy alot and I wish she doesn't have to leave me that suddenly but daddy says that she has to leave to be with my little sister." With this ending sentence, he looked down quietly at the doll that he has been clutching in his arms all the while.

Without any other second thoughts, I quickly reached for my wallet and retrieved a few notes and said to the boy, "Why not we check again, who knows you do have enough money?" "Ok" he responded."I really do hope that I have enough." Discreetly, I slided some of my money to his and we started re-counting it. "Hey! There was actually enough for the doll and some spare money. Thank you God forgiving me enough money!", he acclaimed. He happily added, "Yesterday, I silently prayed to God, telling him to please let me have enough money to buy this doll so that mummy can give it to my sister. He heard me! I wanted to buy a white rose for my mummy, yet I didn't dare to ask God for too much. But He really did gave me enough to buy the doll and now with the white rose too. You know, my mummy loves white rose"

A few minutes later, the old lady came back for the boy so I turned & left with my trolley. The emotions within me was so drastically different from what i felt before & after the shopping trip. For no apparent reasons, I just couldn't get the little boy out of my mind. Then it suddenly struck upon me that i saw a headline article in the local newspapers 2 days ago, which was about a drunken truck driver crashing headlong with a car of a young lady driver & a little girl as the passenger. The little girl died on the spot due to severe deadly injuries and the mother was left in a critical state. The family had to decide whether to disable the life-assisting machine because as per the doctor, the young lady has a very slim chance of surviving & was in a comatose state. Questions started ringing in my thoughts, "Was this the family of the little boy?" "What is the current condition of the lady now? and many more.

Two days after the encounter with the boy, I found out from the newspaper that the young lady had passed away. Before i knew it, i was heading toward the mortuary, with a fresh bunch of white roses in hand, where the body of the young woman was showcased to the public to see and also for the last wishes to be made before burial. The young lady was peacefully lying in the coffin, holding a bouquet of beautiful white roses in her hand alongside with the photo that i saw as well as the doll which was placed over her chest. I left the place in tears, somehow with an indescriable impact that has seems to change my life forever.

The never-dying love that this little boy had for his mother and his sister is far too touching to be forgotten in such a cold, unfeeling society, with countless walking zombies being too busily occupied with nothing but the reality of money's importancy & never being able to cherish or appreciate the warmth surrounding them. Yet in a fraction of a second,a drunken man had taken all this, those that he has cherished so much, away from him for life...
