Father, I ask for Your presence to surround this family, for them to feel Your arms around them. Help them as they go through this time, may they draw nearer to You and be comforted in Your love for them. In Jesus' name, Amen.
About three years ago my cousin lost her son about the same age, what I told her I would also like to tell you. I know this is so painful, and maybe the desire to hold God or yourself accountable may be there also, please don't. I believe as it says in the bible that all our days are numbered and for some reason some lives are very short. I honestly believe that God knew this childs time on earth was limited and He picked a family to have this child born into, a family that would give it a life time of love in the short times that was available. Cherish the time you had with this child, this precious gift that God gave to You. Be thankful that this child was surrounded by the love that you provided. I am thankful that this child was loved and not born into a loveless family. Take care and we will continue to pray for you. God bless, and love from this brother.
