A sweet little baby passed away on the 10th of October one whom I will miss.
I watched the clock until it struck ten this morning and we all piled into the car to go to his memorial service. I promised myself I wouldnt cry as I walked in through the doors and took a hand out that had a picture of Nathaniel's face on it. My heart sank was this really happening.
I could not imagine what his parents were going through. I don't need tissues I thought, I'll be just fine. Half way through I just couldnt take it any longer. My eyes filled up with tears as I listened to the music playing, people getting up and sharing about things they remember, or things they had experienced in the past.
What would it be like?
I looked over and saw a really good friend of mine coming towards me, her face full of tears. I couldnt take it any longer and tears streamed down my face as I hugged her.
That had been a sad day, but for Nathaniel he is in the arms of Jesus. In no pain or sadness.

Sweet Child- by Unknown Author (this poem was on the hand out I received)

God made a sweet child a child who
never grew old, He made a smile of sunshine,
He molded a heart of pure gold.
He made that child as close to an angel as anyone ever could be,
God made a sweet child and he gave that dear child to me.
Then God saw His wonderful creation growing very tired and weak
so He wrapped the child in His loving arms and said, " You my child I Keep"
But now my sweet child is and angel free from hurt and pain,
I'll love you forever, until we meet again,
So many times I have missed you So many times I have cried, If all my love
could have saved you sweet child you never would have died.
