Special Delivery...Touching Story

Special Delivery

Sally jumped up as soon as she saw the Surgeon come out of the operating room, saying: "How is my little boy? Is he going to be O.K.? When can I see him?"

The surgeon responded, "I'm sorry, we did all we could." Sally said, "Why do little children get cancer, doesn't GOD care any more? GOD, where were you when my son needed you?"

The surgeon softly told her, "One of the nurses will be out in a few minutes to let you spend time with your son's remains before it's transported to the university".

Sally asked that the nurse stay with her while she said good-bye to her son. As she ran her fingers through his thick red curly hair, the nurse said, "Would you like a lock of his hair?"

Sally nodded yes. The nurse cut a lock of his hair and put it in a plastic bag and handed it to Sally.

She gazed at her son’s body as she spoke to the nurse. 

"It was Jimmy's idea to give his body to the university for study. He said it might help somebody else, and that is what he wanted. 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 to be able to spend one more day with his mother’. My Jimmy had a heart of gold, always thinking of someone else and always wanting to help others if he could".

Sally walked out of the Children's Hospital for the last time now after spending most of the last 6 months there. She sat the bag with Jimmy's things in it on the seat beside of her in the car. The drive home was hard and it was even harder to go into an empty house. She took the bag to Jimmy's room and started placing the model cars and things back in his room exactly where he always kept them. She lay down across his bed and cried herself to sleep holding his pillow. Sally woke up about midnight and lying beside her on the bed, was a letter folded up.

She opened the letter, it said:

Dear Mom,

I know you're going to miss me, but don't think that I will ever forget you or stop loving you because I'm not around to say I LOVE YOU. I'll think of you every day mom and I'll love you even more each day. Some day we will see each other again. If you want to adopt a little boy so you won't be so lonely, he can have my room and my old stuff to play with. If you decide to get a girl instead, she probably wouldn't like the same things as us boys do, so you will have to buy her dolls and stuff girls like.

Don't be sad when you think about me, this is really a great place. Grandma and Grandpa met me as soon as I got here and showed me around some, but it will take a long time to see everything here.

The Angels are so friendly, and I love to watch them fly. Jesus doesn't look like any of the pictures I saw of Him, but I knew it was Him as soon as I saw Him. Jesus took me to see GOD! And guess what mom? I got to sit on GOD'S knee and talk to Him like I was somebody important. I told GOD that I wanted to write you a letter and tell you good-bye and everything, but I knew that wasn't allowed. God handed me some paper and His own personal pen to write you this letter with. I think Gabriel is the name of the angel that is going to drop this letter off to you. God said for me to give you the answer to one of the questions you asked Him about... “Where was He when I needed him?”

God said, "The same place He was when Jesus was on the cross. He was right there, as He always is with all His children.” Oh, by the way Mom, nobody else can see what is written on this paper but you. To everyone else, it looks like a blank piece of paper.

I have to give God His pen back now, He has some more names to write in the Book Of Life. Tonight I get to sit at the table with Jesus for supper. I'm sure the food will be great. I almost forgot to let you know - now I don't hurt anymore, the cancer is all gone. I'm glad because I couldn't stand that pain anymore and God couldn't stand to see me suffer the pain either, so He sent The Angel of Mercy to get me. The Angel said I was Special Delivery!

Sad Story...Mother And Son......

Mother and Son

My mom only had one eye. I hated her, she was such an embarrassment. My mom ran a small shop at a flea market.She collected little weeds and such to sell, anything for the money we needed she was such an embarrassment.There was this one day during elementary school. I remember that it was field day, and my mom came. I was so embarrassed. How could she do this to me? I threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day at school..."Your mom only has one eye?!" and they taunted me.
I wished that my mom would just disappear from this world so I said to my mom, "Mom, why don't you have the other eye?! You're only going to make me a laughingstock. Why don't you just die?" My mom did not respond. I guess I felt a little bad, but at the same time, it felt good to think that I had said what I'd wanted to say all this time.
Maybe it was because my mom hadn't punished me, but I didn't think that I had hurt her feelings very badly.
That night...I woke up, and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. My mom was crying there, so quietly, as if she was afraid that she might wake me. I took a look at her, and then turned away. Because of the thing I had said to her earlier, there was something pinching at me in the corner of my heart. Even so, I hated my mother who was crying out of her one eye. So I told myself that I would grow up and become successful, because I hated my one-eyed mom and our desperate poverty.
Then I studied really hard. I left my mother and came to Seoul and studied, and got accepted in the Seoul University with all the confidence I had. Then, I got married. I bought a house of my own. Then I had kids, too. Now I'm living happily as a successful man. I like it here because it's a place that doesn't remind me of my mom.
This happiness was getting bigger and bigger, when someone unexpected came to see me "What?! Who's this?!"... It was my mother...Still with her one eye. It felt as if the whole sky was falling apart on me. My little girl ran away, scared of my mom's eye.
And I asked her, "Who are you? I don't know you!!!" as if I tried to make that real. I screamed at her "How dare you come to my house and scare my daughter! Get out here now!" And to this, my mother quietly answered, "oh, I'm so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address," and she disappeared. Thank good ness... she doesn't recognize me. I was quite relieved. I told myself that I wasn't going to care, or think about this for the rest of my life.
Then a wave of relief came upon me... one day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house. I lied to my wife saying that I was going on a business trip. After the reunion, I went down to the old shack, that I used to call a house...just out of curiosity there, I found my mother fallen on the cold ground. But I did not shed a single tear. She had a piece of paper in her hand.... it was a letter to me.
My Son,
I think my life has been long enough now. And... I won't visit Seoul anymore... but would it be too much to ask if I wanted you to come visit me once in a while? I miss you so much. And I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion. But I decided not to go to the school.... For you... I'm sorry that I only have one eye, and I was an embarrassment for you.
You see, when you were very little, you got into an accident, and lost your eye. As a mother, I couldn't stand watching you having to grow up with only one eye... so I gave you mine... I was so proud of my son that was seeing a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye. I was never upset at you for anything you did. The couple times that you were angry with me. I thought to myself, 'it's because he loves me.' I miss the times when you were still young around me.
I miss you so much. I love you. You mean the world to me. My world shattered! Then I cried for the person who lived for me. My Mother.

Dirasuk hantu...Kisah Benar

Dirasuk hantu

Anneliese Michel enggan makan kerana diarah 'syaitan', selain dapat meramalkan kematiannya

MASIH ingat dengan filem pecah panggung di Amerika Syarikat pada 2005, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, mengisahkan seorang gadis yang dirasuk hantu dan menjalani banyak upacara penyembuhan untuk membebaskannya? Di sebalik kutipan memberangsangkan, ia bukan sekadar penyeri panggung, sebaliknya berdasarkan cerita benar yang dialami seorang wanita muda.

‘Emily Rose’ di alam nyata ialah Anneliese Michel (gambar), seorang wanita cantik yang bakal mempunyai kerjaya dalam bidang pendidikan. Dia dilahirkan pada 21 September 1952 di sebuah kampung kecil di Bavaria. Dibesarkan di Klingenberg am Main, Jerman, dalam keluarga yang taat kepada ajaran Katolik, Anneliese menjalani kehidupan seperti kanak-kanak biasa tetapi semakin taksub kepada agama apabila semakin dewasa.

Pada usia 17 tahun, kehidupan Anneliese bertukar menjadi mimpi ngeri. Dia mula kerap mengalami sawan luar biasa pada waktu malam dan tidak boleh bercakap. Doktor mendapati Anneliese mengalami sawan Grand Mal dan selepas mengalami sawan kali ketiga, dia dimasukkan ke sebuah hospital psikiatri di Mittleberg selama setahun.

Ketika di hospital, Anneliese mula ternampak wajah hantu, terutama ketika upacara keagamaan dan suara memberitahu dia dilaknat. Anneliese yakin keadaannya ada kaitan dengan roh. Dia menggesa pihak gereja mengadakan upacara menghalau roh tetapi mereka enggan berbuat demikian sebaliknya mencadangkan Anneliese lebih mendalami agama.

Keadaan Anneliese lebih teruk, dia mula mencederakan diri sendiri, menggigit anggota keluarga, memakan lalat, arang dan labah-labah, malah menggigit kepala bangkai burung sehingga putus. Dia juga mula mengoyakkan pakaian, menyalak seperti anjing selama beberapa hari pada satu-satu masa serta kencing di atas lantai dan menjilatnya. Anneliese turut merosakkan semua simbol agama.

Lima tahun kemudian, ibu bapa Anneliese berjumpa dengan pelbagai paderi dan meminta mereka mengadakan upacara mengusir roh. Selepas akhirnya mengisytiharkan Anneliese dirasuk hantu pada September 1975, Ketua Paderi Josef Stangl, mengarahkan upacara pengusiran diadakan dan paderi Ernst Alt dan paderi Arnold Renz diarah melakukannya. Antara roh jahat yang dikatakan merasuk Anneliese termasuk Adolf Hitler, Cain, Nero, Judas, Legion, Belial dan Lucifer. Upacara bermula pada September dan berterusan hingga akhir Jun 1976.

Selama 10 bulan upacara itu dilakukan sekali atau dua kali seminggu dan ada kala berlanjutan sehingga empat jam. Dalam banyak sesi, Anneliese menyerang balas sehingga terpaksa dirantai. Ketika ia berlangsung, Anneliese bercakap menggunakan suara syaitan dalam beberapa bahasa berbeza.

Requiem, sebuah lagi filem seram yang dibikin berdasarkan kisah Anneliese Michel

Kesihatan Anneliese semakin buruk sepanjang upacara itu dijalankan kerana dia enggan makan kononnya hantu tidak membenarkan dia berbuat demikian. Kedua-dua lututnya pecah selepas menghantuknya ke lantai kerana 600 kali.

Anneliese pernah memberikan surat bertulis menyatakan dia tidak mahu lagi meneruskan upacara pengusiran itu. Dia mendakwa didatangi Virgin Mary dan menawarkan dua pilihan - segera bebas daripada rasukan hantu atau membiarkan ia berterusan untuk jangka lebih lama bagi mendedahkan bahaya dan kuasa syaitan kepada dunia dan menyelamatkan banyak jiwa lain.

Anneliese juga diberitahu sebelum kematiannya, dia akan bebas daripada hantu dan meninggal dunia dalam kemuliaan. Anneliese memutuskan untuk membiarkan dia dirasuk dan menghentikan upacara mengusir hantu. Dia juga meramalkan kematiannya.

Pada tengah malam 1 Julai 1976, hari yang diramalkannya, Anneliese tidur dan tidak bangun lagi selepas itu. Laporan bedah siasat menunjukkan dia meninggal dunia kerana kekurangan zat dan kekeringan air dalam badan. Siasatan memutuskan Anneliese dibiarkan kebuluran sehingga mati dan jika dipaksa makan, dia akan selamat. Kedua-dua ibu bapa dan paderi yang terbabit dalam upacara itu didakwa membunuh tanpa niat dan perbicaraan bermula pada Mac 1978.

Di sebalik penayangan beberapa sesi upacara itu yang dirakamkan, keempat-empat mereka didapati bersalah. Sebelum perbicaraan dimulakan, ibu bapa Anneliese meminta mayatnya dikorek semula kerana terpengaruh dengan kenyataan seorang biarawati yang mengatakan mayatnya tidak reput dan menjadi bukti ia adalah kes luar biasa.

Permohonan mengorek semula kubur Anneliese dibenarkan tetapi dikatakan ia reput seperti mayat lain. Pada 25 Februari 1978, mayat Anneliese dipindahkan ke keranda baru dan dikebumi kira-kira 30 meter dari rumahnya.

Kes itu menjadi yang terakhir pengiktirafan rasmi gereja Katolik kepada rasukan hantu dan memberikan keizinan upacara pengusiran dilakukan. Dalam kata akhirnya kepada paderi, Anneliese memberi amaran kepada mereka supaya ‘memohon pengampunan’, sementara kata-kata terakhir kepada ibunya ketika Anneliese sedang nazak ialah: “Emak, saya takut.”

Tips For A Good Night's Sleep

Set a schedule:
Go to bed at a set time each night and get up at the same time each morning. Disrupting this schedule may lead to insomnia. “Sleeping in” on weekends also makes it harder to wake up early on Monday morning because it re-sets your sleep cycles for a later awakening.

Exercise:
Try to exercise 20 to 30 minutes a day. Daily exercise often helps people sleep, although a workout soon before bedtime may interfere with sleep. For maximum benefit, try to get your exercise about 5 to 6 hours before going to bed.
Avoid caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol:
Avoid drinks that contain caffeine, which acts as a stimulant and keeps people awake. Sources of caffeine include coffee, chocolate, soft drinks, non-herbal teas, diet drugs, and some pain relievers. Smokers tend to sleep very lightly and often wake up in the early morning due to nicotine withdrawal. Alcohol robs people of deep sleep and REM sleep and keeps them in the lighter stages of sleep.
Relax before bed:
A warm bath, reading, or another relaxing routine can make it easier to fall sleep. You can train yourself to associate certain restful activities with sleep and make them part of your bedtime ritual.

Sleep until sunlight:
If possible, wake up with the sun, or use very bright lights in the morning. Sunlight helps the body’s internal biological clock reset itself each day. Sleep experts recommend exposure to an hour of morning sunlight for people having problems falling asleep.

Don’t lie in bed awake:

If you can’t get to sleep, don’t just lie in bed. Do something else, like reading, watching television, or listening to music, until you feel tired. The anxiety of being unable to fall asleep can actually contribute toinsomnia.

Control your room temperature:

Maintain a comfortable temperature in the bedroom. Extreme temperatures may disrupt sleep or prevent you from falling asleep.
See a doctor if your sleeping problem continues:

If you have trouble falling asleep night after night, or if you always feel tired the next day, then you may have a sleep disorder and should see a physician. Your primary care physician may be able to help you; if not, you can probably find a sleep specialist at a major hospital near you. Most sleep disorders can be treated effectively, so you can finally get that good night’s sleep you need.

Tanda Awal Hamil

 Ciri-ciri orang hamil awal kehamilan yang mungkin belum diketahui.

Berikut tanda ciri-ciri wanita Hamil 1 Minggu awal kehamilan :

- Payudara kaku dan membengkak
Salah satu tanda awal kehamilan adalah payudara yang sensitif, membengkak dan kadang disertai sedikit rasa sakit. Hal ini disebabkan karena peningkatan level hormon dalam tubuh. Rasa sakit yang ditimbulkan sama seperti saat anda akan mendapatkan periode menstruasi. Namun rasa tidak nyaman ini secara bertahap akan hilang setelah tri semester pertama, karena tubuh telah dapat menyesuaikan dengan perubahan hormon yang terjadi.

- Letih
Perasaan capek dan letih sepanjang hari. Belum diketahui secara pasti apa penyebabnya, namun kemungkinan rasa ngantuk ini disebabkan karena peningkatan level hormon progesteron.
Pada trisemester kedua, biasanya anda sudah akan merasa lebih enerjik lagi, walaupun biasanya rasa capek ini akan datang lagi pada akhir masa kehamilan, hal ini disebabkan karena anda membawa beban badan yang cukup berat dan ketidaknyamanan yang disebabkan oleh kehamilan sehingga sering kali tidak dapat tidur dengan nyaman di malam hari.

- Pendarahan
Pada beberapa wanita mengalami pendarahan vagina, terjadi sekitar 11 atau 12 hari setelah pembuahan (dekat dengan waktu anda seharusnya mengalami menstruasi). Pendarahan ini biasanya sangat ringan (tampak seperti bercak merah atau merah muda atau bisa juga seperti noda merah kecoklatan) dan hanya terjadi selama satu atau dua hari saja. (beritahukan pada dokter anda bila terjadi pendarahan atau bercak ini, terutama bila disertai rasa sakit, karena ini bisa menjadi pertanda kehamilan ectopic).

- Mual dan muntah
Jika anda seperti sebagian besar wanita lainnya, morning sickness tidak akan terjadi sampai sekitar sebulan setelah pembuahan. Namun pada beberapa wanita, mereka merasa mual lebih cepat, dan bahkan tidak hanya pada pagi hari namun juga di siang, sore atau malam hari. Namun ada juga wanita yang beruntung tidak mengalami hal ini.
Sebagian besar wanita yang mengalami rasa mual ini, akan sepenuhnya merasa lega setelah memasuki trisemester kedua. Namun ada juga yang lebih lama, dan ada yang lebih cepat pula.

- Semakin sensitif terhadap bau-bauan
Pada saat awal kehamilan, tidak jarang kita sering merasa terganggu dengan bau-bauan yang ada di sekitar kita. Terkadang kita merasa mual terkena bau kopi atau masakan tertentu. Tidak ada yang tahu pasti apa penyebabnya, namun kemungkinan hal ini juga disebabkan karena peningkatan hormon estrogen dalam tubuh anda. Terkadang, makanan yang bisanya menjadi favorit kita justru sekarang terasa menyebabkan mual.

- Perut Kembung
Perubahan hormon pada saat awal kehamilan dapat menyebabkan perut anda terasa kembung, sama seperti saat kita akan mendapatkan menstruasi.

- Sering Kencing
Segera setelah anda hamil, anda akan merasa sering ingin ke kamar mandi untuk buang air kecil atau kencing. Hal ini disebabkan karena selama kehamilan jumlah darah dan cairan lainnya dalam tubuh akan meningkat, yang menyebabkan adanya ekstra cairan yang diproses di ginjal dan kemudian berakhir di saluran kemih anda.
Hal ini biasanya terjadi pada enam minggu pertama kehamilan dan akan semakin memburuk pada akhir masa kehamilan, karena janin yang semakin membesar sehingga menekan kantung kemih kita.

- Terlambat menstruasi
Jika siklus menstruasi anda biasanya teratur dan kali ini tidak datang tepat waktu, maka ini adalah saat untuk melakukan tes kehamilan. Namun jika sikuls anda biasa tidak teratur, maka gejala mual dan payudara yang kaku dapat menjadi acuan untuk melakukan tes.

- Temperatur tubuh lebih tinggi dari biasanya
Jika anda terbiasa mencatat temperature tubuh anda, dan anda melihat bahwa dalam 18 hari terakhir ini suhu tubuh anda selalu lebih tinggi dari biasanya, maka kemungkinan besar anda sedang hamil.

- Hasil test – pack yang positif!
Dan yang terakhir, menggunakan alat tes kehamilan di rumah untuk memastikan. Jika hasil tes telah menunjukkan positif anda hamil, segeralah hubungi doktor anda!!!!!!!!
