Extreme sadness

A friend had a child pass away today and I was thinking about how extremely sad it is for a parent to have to go through the death of a child. Most of you know I had a child pass away almost 7 years ago. Mary was 7 when she passed away. The little boy that passed away today was ten years old. One day your child is happy and playing and the next they are gone. I believe when the physical body dies, the spirit continues to live. When Mary died her spirit visited a few people including her dad. This afternoon looking at this sweet child who will never open his eyes and tell his mother he is hungry or thirsty or hot or that his sister is touching him again.... it just made me sad for her. I could tell his spirit was gone even though he was still on the respirator. It brought so many memories flooding back but I was really strong for this other mother. Everyone please kiss your child and tell them how much you love them tonight. Don't wait for tomorrow.
