I have a friend whom I've known for about 7 years who was a nurse at the Air Force base I was stationed at when I first joined. Her daughter was diagnosed with Leukemia at the end of last year and is still fighting it. With all that time being in the hospital, she's become attached to a couple of the other little patients. One of them being Morgan. Morgan has been fighting a battle of her own until Tuesday when she received her angel wings. I've never met Morgan, but I know she was precious. I know she had family and friends that loved her unconditionally. I just can't imagine the thought of planning my childs funeral. I know God had a plan for that little girl and that's what we should focus on, but it doesn't change the sadness and hurt that it brings to a family.
When God calls little children
When God calls little children
to dwell with him above
We mortals sometimes question
the wisdom of his love
For no heartache compares with
the death of one small child
who does so much to make our world
seem wonderful and mild
Perhaps God tires of calling
the aged to his fold
so he picks a rosebud
before it can grow old
God knows how much we need them
and so he takes but few
to make the land of Heaven
more beautiful to view
Believing this is difficult
still somehow we must try
the saddest word mankind know
will always be "goodbye"
so when a child departs
we who are left behind
must realize God loves children
Angels are hard to find

But Jesus called them to him saying, "Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God." Luke 18:16
Welcome home Morgan.
