Prayer Request - Piper's Buddy Garrett Went Home
Phone Call ^ | January 29, 2007 | HiJinx

Posted on 01/29/2007 5:08:55 PM PST by HiJinx

Awhile back, we came to our wonderful FR family and asked for prayer for little 2 year old Garrett. He had suffered a seizure and convulsions, and the doctors put him in a coma to let the seizures run their course. He came out of it after a couple of weeks, and has been in physical therapy ever since.

His daddy is in the Navy, and they bent over backwards to help this family with their needs.

Garrett and his mommy were flying from Phoenix back home to San Diego today when Garrett stopped breathing. They made an emergency landing in Yuma, but it was too late. Garrett just didn't make it.

The family is converging on Yuma now, and will be making arrangements in the next few days. I'd ask that those of you so inclined pray for Garrett's family, and mine. Many of you know my granddaughter; her mom and Garrett's mom are like sisters, and this has hit her hard.

Ah God, we weep for our children... and You weep with us.

Let him run in your fields, your angels as butterflies. In Garrett's heart, there is no grief; only the long last freedom to run and rejoice in the light of God's love. As he so longed to do, now he may do to his heart's content... out in heaven's fields, holding the Hand of God.

I do NOT understand why He takes these little ones.

Nor I, my FRiend. But Faith gives me strength to accept His will.

I thought everything was ok.

It seemed to be. This was so unexpected.

And me. But it's not enough to stop the tears.

Oh, you are so right...but, I think the tears are good. It shows we have hearts, and compassion; they bring us together.

Garret is in the arms of angels, rejoicing in the presence of our Lord. May their faith and hope in the Risen Christ give comfort to his family in this sad time.
