My son Michael
6-8-02 | OxfordMovement

Posted on 06/08/2002 11:06:51 AM PDT by OxfordMovement

My three year old son Michael died this morning at 3 a.m. He had been experiencing high fevers for over a month and has been in the hospital again for the last few days. The doctors were unable to determine the cause of his illness and had contacted many others to review the many tests they had run on him.

Though he received very good medical care, his little heart just stopped beating and wouldn't start again. I know he is in the arms of Jesus, but I just don't understand why this has happened.

Please pray for me, my wife, and my other children. I don't know what we are going to do. We are all so upset. The doctor at the hospital gave my wife an injection of a sedative to calm her down. I'm feeling really desperate. God gave us such a beautiful boy, and now He has taken him away from us. I don't understand. Please pray for us.

May God bring you and your family a sense of His love, which also passes all understanding. Cling, and know that we are clinging with you.

My heart breaks for you, and I offer no explanation for why this has happened. I only can pray that God comfort you and your family. Although little Michael is happy and at peace, I know you are hurting. May God grant you strength, comfort, peace and - eventually - understanding.

Dear Oxford:

My heart goes out to you and your wife. My sister lost her son in February - quite unexpectedly. I know from watching her in her grief that the loss of a child is the worst kind of an ordeal than anyone can go through. God has indeed taken your little angel to heaven with Him. I pray that God give you strength and peace in this time of sorrow and loss. My nephew, who was 23, loved children. I know that he is with your son Michael and the two of them are smiling down of their parents right this very moment.

Please accept my deepest condolences.

I don't know what we are going to do.

You're going to raise your chin and go on, secure in the knowledge that God gave you a precious life for a brief moment.

We are all so upset.

Of course you are. You have every right to be.

Please pray for me, my wife, and my other children.

Already done, and will be repeated. God comfort all of you in this time of trial.

I am so very sorry for your loss. My prayers will be with you and your family. I know it will be extremely hard as I have also lost a son but God will help you through this. Your child will live with you always in your heart and will be there daily with you.

Life gives us some hard things to take and we wonder why us. Yet, this is not heaven here. This world has sickness, sorrow and death. Heaven is to come and you will be reunited there.
