Knowing that this was the way it was supposed to be, that he was <i>meant</i> to die young, and that Hashem gave him the tools he needed and the ability to accomplish so much in such a short time brings a strong measure of comfort. It's still hard but it feels good to know that. To know that this is the way it was supposed to be. And that he was given something extra to be able to do whatever he had to in the small amount time he was put into this world. <br />Because...if the special kids are taken early, why would we want our kids to be so special if we'll lose them? (I know...that's not a very happy thought to think.) We want our kids to be the best they can. But we want to have them close to us for as long as we live.<br /><br />Amen...thank you. I hope so. I'm already starting to see some of Shalom in Shalom Baruch. It's...nice. :)Devorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09467731180285925143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669597641513421106.post-28910417056308268712013-01-28T09:34:34.701-05:002013-01-28T09:34:34.701-05:00Someone once told me that it seems like Hashem giv...Someone once told me that it seems like Hashem gives children who are going to live a shorter life an extra measure of intuition, an extra maturity, an extra something - to be able to really want to do mitzvos while they are alive. I found that so much more comforting than how it seems - that Hashem takes the special ones. It used to scare me. If a child is extra special, Hashem will take him early. But after hearing that, I see it differently. The child was already meant to die young. So Hashem gave him that extra something so he makes the most out of the short life he has. It sounds like this is how it was for your brother. He sounds so so special. <br /><br />I hope your desire is fulfilled - that your son be like your brother. How can he not when he has such a special mother? (And he already IS pretty creative :).) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
