I overheard Courtney saying to someone that Elizabeth and Sarah watched a child die today. It feels like she is talking about someone else but I was there, I watched him die.
A beautiful child with soft brown skin, he was ten years old although he looked no older then five or six. Many tubes were coming out of his small body, which had wasted away. I held his weeping mom in my arms while his breathing and heart rate slowed then stopped.
I know this child is in heaven and that he is suffering no more. But the anguish of his mom, there are no words. The sounds of her grief will stay with us for a long, long time.
Please don’t leave me a comment, instead pray for this sweet mom who is grieving the loss of her precious little one.
He died of pneumonia.
