J.C. is living with his Heavenly Father once again. His time in mortality was short but his sweet spirit lives on. Life is eternal and we'll see him again. This much I know to be true.

“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven;
“A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
“A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
“A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; …” [Eccl. 3:1–4]

Who is this? And what happened? How sad to lose a child so soon. But so comforting to have the knowledge we do and we know he is most certainly with our Heavenly Father. Prayers to the family.

J.C. is my cousin's son (see 2 previous blog entries). He drowned in his vomit. So sad.

I'm so sorry. I like the photo and scripture you listed.

There is nothing like losing a baby - a part of yourself. I have been thinking a lot this past week about your cousins. Our prayers are with them.
