Yesterday I attended the funeral services for a two year little boy, born feb. 15th 2007-Died feb.21st 2009
His parents put him to bed healthy, happy and when they went to check on him he had passed on. How can I even express in words what this has done to me, I have feared this very thing my whole life as a mother. When I saw that tiny little coffin and his grieving mother how could my heart not break for the emotions she must be feeling. She is pregnant with baby #2 on the way. What kind of mother will she now be. How grateful they were for the gospel in their lives and knowing his journey was done here on earth. I guess since he was about three months old he would always point to the light. He loved the light his first word was light. James and Annie were going to get up at the end of the services and thank everyone for all they have done but poor Annie just broke down in front of everyone which really I can't believe she even tried I was a basket case and he is not my son. How grateful I am for eternal families and to know that everything falls into heavenly fathers plan we just need to put our trust in him and always go to him in prayer to receive answers and direction for what we need to do. I think that James and Annie are 25 and 23 can you imagine being so young and having such a Hugh loss to face with but everything yesterday really was about celebrating the life of an amazing little boy. They gave me strength and helped my understanding of life and purpose and really what I need to do so I can be ready to go when my time has come.I Hope that everyone can reflect on your own lives and make everything a step closer to achieving eternal glory.
That is my greatest fear. I don't even know what to say. How can one prevent that?
ReplyDeleteOh dear! Wow, what a horrific experience. I too am so grateful for the knowledge that we have. It sure softens the blow, I can't imagine death with out it. Thank you for sharing, I'll try to cherish them a bit more tomorrow, because they woke up. And thank Heavenly Father for that blessing. Uh, it makes me want to go and wake them all up and hug em. Thanks for sharing
