perfect spirit returned to heaven today

people have such great faith in our lord. Sometimes i wonder if i have that much faith, but then again i don't want to go through what they did to find out. you always think you have it hard until someone else comes a long to put you back in your place.

Today, my husbands aunt announced the death of her sons child. The mother was in labor for three days with a nine pound baby boy. this is what the mother had to say:

Whitney Butler Hawkins: Today our sweet baby boy, Maximus Kyle Hawkins was delivered after 3 days of laboring and finally came after an emergency c-section. 9 lbs 10 oz, 20 inches long. Our precious Max was too perfect for this world and returned to his Heavenly Father. We love and miss him dearly but know he is in a better place watching over us as our angel. We love you, Maximus! You will be in our hearts always...

As i am reading this my child, my little girl is laying next to me asleep. i am trying not to cry but when you have such a wonderful child that you get a little overwhelmed wih because you have no idea what you are doing and she is fighting you to sleep because all she wants to do is be like mommy and stay awake, then all of a sudden you read about another mother who didn't get this chance with her child. this mother may be in pain who wouldn't be, but i have to tell her thank you for such great faith because her pain opened my heart even more. I pray that her family can find more peace during this hard time. i can only sympathize and it won't be later until they understand the picture being painted before them. from the sounds of it they already see some, but not all. i really hope they can find peace and comfort during this hard time. i really can't imagine loosing my child, and i pray and hope that i won't have to find out.
