My sweet nephew Kane is one week old today. Wow. One week in Heaven. How that must feel. I know he is flying all over up there, and if he is anything like me, he is into everything! ;) When he gets sleepy he rest in the arms of angels, and when he is curious he talks with Jesus. When we miss him, he comforts us. When we cry he wipes our tears. He is walking down the streets of gold, and helping build our mansions. What a celebration it must have been when little Kane flew home to Heaven. Those gates open wide, and Jesus waiting. If he has half the voice his mommy has I know he is singing in the choir with angels. If he is anything like his grandpa or Uncle Jay he is probably scoping out some nice “huntin” spots to save when we get there. If he is like his grandma He is being strong, praying over us each day.
I still don’t understand why God decided to take you before we got to know you. But I have to believe that somehow through this tragedy God has a plan. Though, I still wish we could have heard you cry, and I wish Natalie could have taken you home. She will be the most amazing mom. I wish I could see you grow up. I wish I could see you walk and run. We had so many plans, and hopes and dreams. But what we don’t realize is that God’s plan for you is SO much more than any plans we could have ever dreamed for you. In your short time here, Kane, you brought our family together. You brought us deeper. You healed old hurts, and created new relationships. You showed us how strong love can truly be. I believe, in a way, you saved us.
You will never have to feel a tear on your cheek. You will never have a scraped knee. You will never break a bone, or bump your head. You will never get your heart broken, or know how it feels to be sad. You will never have to eat broccoli or green beans. ;) You will never have to know the hurts of this world. And you will never be scared. You will never feel alone and never feel worthless. You will, however, always be happy and always have a purpose. You will always be supported and always be watched over. You will forever be with the Lord in a perfect paradise.
We miss you every day. Keep watch over your mommy, she needs you.
Watch over me in Africa little monkey,
-love your Aunt B
