Little Billy



Little Billy desperately wanted a bike for Christmas, so his mother told him to pray to the Blessed Virgin Mary for help. Billy prayed and prayed, but on Christmas morning – no bike and the same thing on his birthday – prayer after prayer, but still no bike. Finally, in desperation, Billy walks over to the church and from a small alcove in the church, takes down a small statue of the Virgin Mary, hides it carefully under his coat, leaves church and walks home. Going upstairs, he takes the statue from under his coat, and places it in the very back corner of his closet, and hide it with blankets. That night, still thinking about the new bike, Billy gets on his knees to say his prayers and says, “OK God, if you ever want to see your mother again…”

A Note From My Son

Okay, so this is what happened and I’m sure most of you will be able to relate to my experience. At least once in your lifetime you lost something. Well, car key to be specific as it is one of the top objects that a person loses. We drive the car to and from work every day and a car key make a car go places.   I lost my car keys yesterday. I search everywhere, every room, every purse and every place else I believe the key would be. I must have searched the whole house in random but no key was found. I went crazy searching for my car key yesterday until I gave up. My family knew I was looking for my lost car key because I was moving everything in search for my car key. I must have panicked or is it just part of senior moment? You know, when you are aging and you don’t want to get there, yet it is unstoppable because no matter how you try to escape, it would still come and catch up with you? I did not take time to think and retrace back where I went. I just search and searched like it is the only way to find my key which leads to being tired and hopeless, finally giving up thinking it might be best to just get a new key made.  That was my plan for tomorrow for it was near the time for bed. All the searching had made me tired, I just want to slump and enjoy the night, even for just one night.

When I woke up this morning, my thoughts were “my car keys”. I reminded myself to never forget the car keys. As I look up, something was different thou I couldn’t tell at first. Maybe I’m still sleepy, tired from search activity last night. As I focus on what is different, something on the wall is unusual. A note attached on my headboard. It was in bold letter. “Found your car key this morning before heading for school. Drive safely. Your son, Ken”.  The note has a key clinging on the bottom. My son found my car keys! I have my day off today and my son has to go to school early, riding with his dad, they did not even bother to wake me up. That was so nice of my husband and my children. I woke up with a pleasant morning surprise for my car key was right in front of me. Such a wonderful day to share…

That night, I ask my son where he found it and you guess where? The first place to look for – the garage, where the car parks at night. I must have missed it!


I will keep this note for time will come when I will need this note to brighten my day as age catch up with me.
