Little Man K's funeral was yesterday. I had the privilege of being there and even playing the piano. I mean it when I say privilege. His parents did a beautiful job expressing their love and pain and faith. I have been thinking so much about them and my cousin who buried her little man just a few weeks ago. I got to see her last week and she simply amazed me. Her words to me were that she feels sadness, but not despair. I can't think of when I'll stop praying for my cousin and also Little Man K's family. I pray they will find the same feeling in their hearts--of sadness, but not despair. Thank you, Monette, for your simple and incredible faith.
Here are the fitting words Little Man's mom read yesterday and here is the song the slideshow was set to, called Fly. Hope you don't mind the link, H. I know good people. :)
I, one of God's noble spirits, came to earth one day
Lingered just a moment,then hastened on my way.
But I left a little body in face and form complete
That must be buried tenderly in earth for quiet sleep
And because two hearts were aching they could not hear me say,
"I'll claim it, my darling parents, on Resurrection Day."
Thank you, Father and Mother, for giving it to me
With it I'll know progression through all eternity.
With it, I'll be your son, and make you proud and glad
While waiting, I'll be learning so strive not to be sad.
Others will be with you my parents, who will love and stay with you.
I had to hurry onward, I had other work to do.
But remember I'll be waiting. Prove true to your earthly test
And when we meet we'll smile and say,"What Father does is best."

Did she write that poem? It is so fitting. I definitely felt Dexter's gratitude towards me for giving him a body. And I was happy to make that little sacrifice for his eternal progression. And I've felt that motivation to prove true and remember. What Father does is definitely best. I'm glad your friend could express that.
