Countdown

Daniel was 12 1/2 when he departed so suddenly ten years ago. He would be 22 1/2 today.  This is an age progressed picture that approximates what Daniel may have looked like in his mid teens.






                 Daniel,

                         In only seven days, the world will have turned, once again, to the horrible day when, for some reason, your spirit was called from the Earth in just those few moments.  I have always known that my children were gifts from God, and that you were simply beautiful "rentals" for me to love and raise. Yes, you were my son, but God has a prior claim on us all.   I knew this, and my faith has kept me strong for these ten years.

                         But make no mistake.  As much as I accept God's sovereignty, I think of you each and every day, and as I know your consciousness lives, I still wonder what you think about and what God has told you. You will always be a part of my life no matter the plane on which we reside.

                         Today I heard this song, which I now you heard when you were here, and I thought of you, despite the fact that you did not have curly blond hair and blue eyes !   I still share the love the mother singing the song has for her son, with you.






                           I will think of you and pray for you and Papa Lawrence, tomorrow on what I know was one of your favorite holidays.

                           With love,


                         Your Mom
