OMG!!! This is so extremely sad!!!!!

That poor family!!! I'm sending major thoughts and prayers to them and to you, for comfort and for the strength to get through the days ahead.

The angels are with little John right now, and they are guiding him and showing him the way...

A prayer for little John

Dear Father,

Today you have called little John home to be with you, Father. We know that you must have a purpose for calling him to be with you. Father, I pray that you give his family the revelation that they need to get pass the passing of little John, Father. Father, bless them with the support they need and the peace in the heart to overcome the grief and for them to understand that death of little John is a new life for him in Heaven to be with you Father. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen

OMG, I am so, so sorry. I cannot even imagine what it is like to lose a child. My prayers are with you and with John's family.

Hissy-

My heart sank when I read this thread. . . . and the tragic outcome.

If anyone knows how painful it is to lose a child, it's you.
How sad (and ironic). Considering the thread that you started on dying.

I think that John is with your little Jeremy.

Sigh. . . .

Your friend's grandson & family will be in my prayers.

The only thing that comes to mind is the poem I was sent oh so very long ago


Thy Will Be Done


I'll lend you for a little while, a child of Mine, He said
For you to love the while he lives, and mourn for when he's dead.
It may be six or seven years, or twenty-two or three,
But will you till I call him back take care of him for me?

He'll bring his charms to gladden you, yet should his stay be brief
You'll have his loving memories as solace for your grief
I cannot promise he will stay, for all from earth return
But there are lessons left down there I wish this child to learn.

I looked this wide world over in my search for teachers true
And from the throngs that crowd life's lane, I have selected you.
Now will you give him all your love, nor thing the labor vain
Nor hate me when I come to call to take him home again?


I fancied that I heard you say, Dear Lord, Thy will be done,
For all the joys this child shall bring, the risk of grief we'll run
And should the angels call for him much sooner than we've planned
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try and understand.

-Edgar Guest-


(i think that is it, I committed it to memory a long time ago)
