It seems cruel that last week I shared with you, new life.
This week there is only loss and the deepest sadness.
A child taken too soon. Just four precious years spent on this big earth.
My heart is heavy. Heavy for that little soul. For his parents. His family. Heavy.
I pray for his loved ones, that they may find strength wherever possible through the darkness that is grief and farewell.

Daddy please don`t look so sad,
Mummy please don`t cry.
I am in the arms of Jesus
and He sings me lullabies.
Please do not try to question God,
don`t think He is unkind.
Don`t think He sent me to you and that
He changed His mind.
You see, I am special
and I`m needed up above.
I`m the special child you gave Him,
the product of your love.
I`ll always be there with you.
So watch the sky at night.
Find the brightest star that`s gleaming.
That`s my halo`s brilliant light.
So Daddy please don`t look so sad.
Mummy please don`t cry.
I am in the arms of Jesus

and He sings me lullabies.

  5. That is very sad.
    I hope that everyone in the child's family, his friends, his classmates and his community are supported and loved at this difficult time. I hope they each get the time and space they need to reflect and say goodbye.

  6. Oh no Tahnee, I have nothing but chills running through me after reading of this news. I can't... and don't want to even imagine... how terribly tragic for everyone involved. My heart goes out to the family and friends. It is horribly unfair the way life works sometimes xo
