Our little angel got his wings

on january 7, 2008 my grandson christian got his wings.
his life started as a struggle and ended in peace. he was born on july 5, 2000 weighing in at only 1 pound 8 ounces. the doctors and nurses made sure to explain to his mother, sandra and i that it would be a miracle if he survived the night. when he did they told us it would be day to day.
seven and a half years later that dreaded day came. fortunately for us we didn't dwell on the possibility of the end we concentrated and reveled in the life of this brave little boy.
christian touched more lives than we will ever know. like the commercial that states, "and she'll tell to friends, and so on..." is how it will continue to happen.
getting to personally know this remarkable child was a privilege and i was one of those people that this privilege was bestowed upon. i was the one he called "gramma"... i was one of the ones that got to sit and hold him, to touch him, to breathe him in. i was one of the ones that he looked into my eyes right down to the depths of my soul. i was one of those that he taught how to live, without anger, spite, and self pity. i was one of the ones he taught to live and love whole hardily and i will never be able to thank him enough.
i had always struggled with my faith. i knew or at least hoped that there was something... no need to put a name to it... but something... since christian's passing i've been shown many many things that prove the existence of something else... someplace else... a place where my little grandboy is waiting...
waiting with open arms and when i get up there the first thing i will see is him, arms outstretched, running to me and then jumping up in my arms, wrapping those arms around my neck and kissing me and then saying, "gramma where have you been, i missed you..." which are all the things i could see he wanted to do by looking in his beautiful brown eyes that he couldn't do in the body he was given, but now he can...
i am at peace knowing i will see him again...
I Love You Munchkin' I will miss you but will continue to feel your presence in my life.
