another funeral

WM and I were at another funeral today. We don't know our neighbours very well, just that they have three children. Their youngest one was born with a heart condition. Last week, his fight for life ended. He would have been four in April.

I have never been to a funeral for a child - it was incredibly sad.

I haven't got a photo to show you; I don't have his parents' permission to use the one from his funeral service sheet.

    I agree-there is nothing sadder than a funeral for a child. Give yourself a hug from me........

    Those are the toughest. It just doesn't seem right to loose a little one before his life has been lived.

    Oooh. I am weeping for you and his family. Four years old is far too young to have to say good bye. Yet I trust that God has a plan....else the world would shatter to bits at the sadness.

    I bet he would have liked a quilt covered in donkeys wearing rain boots!

    This is just too sad! My thoughts are with his family and you. I am very thankful I only had to attend two funerals so far.

    Oh, bless his precious heart! I have been to far too many funerals for children and hugged too many grieve stricken parents, as well. My heart and prayers go out to all of them. And a big hug for you...I know how it feels to even attend such a funeral!
