A boy dies after surgery to remove cancer. His mother is distraught with grief and questions why God did not save her son. That night, she finds a letter on the boy's bed, seemingly from the boy in heaven. In the letter, he comforts his mother, tells her about the wonders of heaven, and says God was with him through his suffering.
