Children are not supposed to die...Parents expect to see their children grow and mature. Ultimately, parents expect to die and leave their children behind...This is the natural course of life events, the life cycle continuing as it should. The loss of a child is the loss of innocence, the death of the most vulnerable and dependent. The death of a child signifies the loss of the future, of hopes and dreams, of new strength, and of perfection. - Arnold and Gemma 1994, iv, 9, 39
When a parent dies, you lose your past; when a child dies, you lose your future. - Anonymous
This space is with me all the time it seems. Sometimes the empty space is so real I can almost touch it. I can almost see it. It gets so big sometimes that I can't see anything else. - Arnold and Gemma 1983, 56

This is not the 'order' of things as they should be. But we have no say over destiny, we can just try and bear this unbelievable pain to the best of our ability, and be so very thankful for the time we had .. to hold him, to love him and to experience the miracle of who he was. Oh wise little man with the amazing eyes and beautiful, all knowing smile.
