Love At First Sight

There was a boy who was born sick. An illness that had no cure. With 17 years and he could die any moment. He always lived at home, under the care of his mother.

One day, feeling tired and he decided to go out alone for a walk. He asked permission from his mother and she accepted. Walking by his block he saw many stores. When passing by a music store and seeing the window, he noticed the presence of a girl very tender of his own age.

It was love at first sight. He opened the door and came in without looking at anything other than her. Approaching little by little he got to the counter where she was. She looked at him, smiling and said to him, "May I help you?"

While he thought that that was the most beautiful smile he had ever seen in his whole life, he felt desires to kiss her at that same instant. Stuttering he said, "Yeah, eeehhh, uuuhhh... I'd like to buy a CD."

Without thinking, he took the first he saw and handed her the money.

"Do you want me to wrap it?" asked the girl smiling again.

He answered affirmatively, nodding, and she went into the store to come back with the package wrapped and gave it to him. He took it and left the store. He went home, and since that day on he visited the store every day to buy a CD. The girl always wrapped it for him to and he then carried it home and put them in his closet.

He was very shy to invite her to go out and although he tried, he could not. His mother found this out and encouraged him to tell the girl how he felt towards her. So the following day he filled himself with courage and he headed to the store.

As on the other days, he bought again a CD, and as usual, she went to the back to wrap it. He took the CD, and while she was not seeing, he quickly left his phone number on the counter and quickly ran out of the store.

Ringggg!!! His mother answered,"Hello? "

It was the girl, she asked for her son and the mother disconsolate started to cry while saying, "What? Don't you know?" he died yesterday.

It was a moment of prolonged silence, except by the laments of the mother. Later, the mother entered her son's room to remember him. She decided to start by seeing his clothes, so she opened his closet. To her surprise she found piles of wrapped CDs. Not even one was open.

That stirred her curiosity to see what was wrapped inside; she took one and sit on bed to unwrap it; when doing so, a little piece of paper came out of the box. The mother picked it up to read it, it said,"Hi!!!, you are super handsome, would you like to go out with me? ILY....Sofía."

With so much emotion the mother opened some others and other pieces of paper in various CDs said the same...

That's life, do not wait too long to say to that especial one what you feel for him/her. Say it today. Tomorrow it may be too late.
