Something to think about

Do not weep because you think you have forever lost the fairest flower in your garden. The truth is that the flower has been transported into a far more beauteous garden where it sheds a greater perfume and is lovelier and more beautiful than ever it could have been on earth.
It has been spared many of earths sadness and sorrows. It has been spared many cruelties and many blights.

Your child will never know much that has darkened your own life. Rejoice that freedom has come to a young soul who will never be distressed by the many miseries that afflict your world.
Do not grieve for the child; grieve if you will for your own loss, for you will miss the little radiant face,  the childish prattle, the diminutive figure. But through your physical eyes cannot see, and your physical ears cannot hear, your child is ever present.

If you stop shedding the tears that create a mist in front of your eyes, you will see the truth that in Gods great kingdom there is no death and all continue to live in far better conditions in a world which is richer and sweeter than you could have ever dreamed.

Do not sorrow for the child. Know that an all loving God has given Angels to protect him or her and the child will, in the fullness of time, be reunited with you...

From gentleman called silver birch
