Loss

Today, someone I like lost a their child. We do not talk hardly ever..we worked together a short time, but he was someone I would seek to talk to if in each others presence. His daughter was born 2 months early and was welcomed into heaven not too long after. This world works in mysterious ways. Maybe Evangeline just could not wait to spend what time she knew she had on this earth with her mother and father. If I know anything, the love of a child is enduring and cannot be measured in "time" as we know it. A single newborn is evidence of a new beginning for us all. There is not much I can offer the parents beyond my heartfelt condolences. I wish them both strength and solace.

I found this quote in my travels.

For Brad, Angie and little Evangeline...

I think of you often
and make no outward show,
But what it means to lose you,
no one will ever know
You wished no one farewell,
not even said good-bye,
You were gone before I knew it,
and only God knows why.
You are not forgotten
nor will you ever be,
As long as life and memories last,
I will remember thee.
To some you may be forgotten,
to others a part of the past,
But to me who loved you dearly,
your memories will always last.
Nothing can be more beautiful
than the memories I have of you.
To me, you were someone special,
God must have thought so too!
If tears could build a staircase
and memories a lane,
I would walk all the way to Heaven,
and bring you back again.
