In loving memory of little Samuel

If tears could build a stairwell
and memories were a lane,
I would walk right up to Heaven
and bring you home again.
No farewell words were spoken,
no time to say good-bye...
You were gone before I knew it,
and only God knows why.
My heart still aches in sadness
and secret tears still flow,
What it means to lose you
no one will ever know.

It took me this long to finally get over it. It's not until I am blessed with Yao that I could openly talk about it, without bringing tears to my eyes. Indeed, only time will heal. And I'm lucky I am given another chance, in a different way. For this, I must be appreciative and always count my blessings.

On this very day, 4 years ago, I was still wondering why. You would be 3 by now, and I still couldn't imagine how you would have changed our life. But I'm at peace with myself now, knowing that you're in good hands, though I've never once dreamt of you yet.... but I believe you're with the Angels up there watching over us. Here, I would like to offer up a little prayer for you...


DEAREST LITTLE SAMUEL,
WE THANK OUR HEAVENLY FATHER
FOR BLESSING US WITH YOUR SWEET, YET BRIEF LIFE. 
KNOW THAT YOU HAVE TOUCHED OUR LIVES FOREVER
AND WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE AND MISS YOU. 
WE TRUST JESUS WILL KEEP YOU SAFE IN HIS CARE,
AND PRAY THAT ONE DAY, 
WE’LL ALSO BE ABLE TO HOLD YOU FOR ETERNITY. 

HOLY SPIRIT, MAY YOU HEAL OUR HEARTS;
INSPIRE US TO LIVE FAITHFULLY 
IN THE HOPE OF EVERLASTING PEACE AND JOY IN HEAVEN,
AND MAY WE ALL BE TOGETHER AS A FAMILY AGAIN. 
AMEN.
