This Christmas as we celebrated with the world, the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, we also mourned with our friends their lost of a loved one.

Just 4 days before Christmas, we received a message from our friend that their 2 months old baby has passed on to be with the Lord.

The baby has never left hospital since birth, fighting for his life in ICU after an open heart surgery when he was few days old.

I really feel for the parents, because my second daughter also had an open heart surgery when she was 3 days old.

I was very sad when I heard the news that day, but later I remembered reading a book by Chris Pringle saying God will take care of the babies in heaven while they wait for the parents to come.

Here's an extract from the book:

It is but a distant memory

The day you went away

Not quite sure what to say

Silent tears of confusion

Were quickly brushed away.

Life goes on they say

Did you know I loved you?

Did you know I cared?

Did you hear me talking to you

As you were being prepared?

I'm so sorry I wasn't strong for you

So sorry I let you go

We were only together a few weeks

And you never get to grow.

Life goes on they say

He took you slowly on angel's wings

Away from all the pain

Soaring high throughout the heavens

Never looking back again

Arriving at His special place

He welcomed you with love

Stay here with me in heaven

Until your mother comes above

It's not the sort of thing you talk about

"Get on with it" they say

But someone did talk about it,

And now we're on our way. Yeah!

(Quoted from the book Jesse found in heaven... by Chris Pringle)
