“Some of our children are destined to be Angels before us...unfortunately.”
Not angels - GREATER than angels! A soul perfected in Christ, having a glorified resurrected body which will never know pain or suffering. A saint who judges the fallen angels. 1 Corinthians 6:3. We should never settle for the comparative mediocrity of angelhood in our thinking about the afterlife! The little boy is in good, loving hands forever.

Good reply. I was thinking of a way to explain that humans do not become angels when they die, being entirely different creatures, but you said it beautifully.
