Saying Goodbye again...

Last year I said goodbye to my grandmother and my great-aunt... now I am trying to say goodbye to my nephew. This is SO much harder!

Grandma had been virtually bedridden for months, and almost debilitated by Parkinson's and Alzheimer's...she was released from a body that was uncooperative...

My great-aunt had battled cancer twice before, she was at peace and was anxiously awaiting eternity.

My nephew... was just barely 3 years old. He was an extremely active (ADD is in my family) 3 yr old, always into mischief, he could always find a way into places he wasn't supposed to be into... and to see him, lying lifeless and still... it was so hard, so very hard.

Being a Christian, I have faith and hope, I will see him again, but missing him here and now.. witnessing what his parents are being put through right now... it tears my heart to pieces...

Precious Andrew, little one, your memory remains strong although your life light has been extinguished.
