The Little Boy

I was the first police officer at the scene of a one-car accident, arriving only minutes after it happened. Except for my red patrol lights going round and round, the road was dark and lonely. It was the middle of the night. Whoever had called in this accident was nowhere to be seen.

A woman had rolled her SUV and was smashed between the driver’s seat and steering wheel. She was dead. The silence gave a false sense of peace—until I heard the whimpering of a child.

I walked around the vehicle, which was lying on its side, and saw a little boy lying underneath it. The roof covered and pinned half his body, while his head and arms were free. I was alarmed. There was no way I could lift that vehicle! I phoned to make sure help was coming. I prayed that just one car with a bunch of people in it would drive by. But nobody came.

The child was conscious and in a surprised voice asked, “Are you a real state trooper?”

I chuckled, “Of course I am, silly! I know, I’m just a girl, huh?”

The boy gave a half-smile and then blurted out, “I want my mom! Where is my mom?” Suddenly marble-sized tears fell down his cheeks. I saw no reason to tell him that his mother had died. Instead, I tried to reassure him.

“My friends are helping her. They’re going to take her to the hospital. But, you know what? I don’t have any children. Could I be your mom just for a while?”

He nodded his head and said, “Okay . . .”

I took his hand in mine.

He was a sweet-faced boy with brown, curly locks. He had the most beautiful, big eyes I’d ever seen. He looked up at me seriously. “Am I going to die?” he asked.

For a split second, I choked. He had obvious internal bleeding; things didn’t look too good.

I regained my composure and without hesitation said, “No, you won’t die. You know, whether you decide to live in Heaven, or if you choose to stay right here on earth, either way . . . you will still be you, and you will still be alive. Nobody ever dies. We all live forever.”

He looked into my eyes and I felt that he understood.

With the hint of a smile, he squeezed my hand in trust. After what seemed like an eternal moment, he took his last breath and gently passed away.
