Children in Heaven

Baby Even with 妈咪和爸比

Last week I happened to come across lyrics of this song My Pride (Proud of You) - Fiona Fung and listening to it again brought back memory of 2 years ago when Theophila was only 5 months old. Strangely, this time when I listen to the song again, my baby is also around 5 months old... I wonder if I ever have another baby, that will I hear the same song again when that baby turns 5 months?? haha!

I think it was in a baby forum that I was led to this site 上帝的宝贝- Even. A heart-broken mommy lost her baby at 8mths. Baby Even was born with a heart condition and needed immediate treatment. But he was doing well after that and was able to go home. For 8 months the parents were able to love and enjoy taking care of baby Even until that fateful day.

I still remember seeing pictures of Even 妈咪 giving her baby the last bath, trimming the fingernails for the last time, hug and kiss the baby for the last time... my tears just couldn't stop flowing! An eight months old baby, so chubby and adorable, but was no longer alive... it was my first time seeing such pictures and it rended my heart. I remember I went home that day and hug my Theophila, then a baby, the longest time ever!

It was reported in the taiwanese broadcast too as the site hits 500,000 readers.

The death of a loved one is always a time of great sorrow, but the death of a beloved child is perhaps the keenest sorrow of all. Everyday I would go to her website and read her diary and sometimes I would leave a note of comment to encourage her. Even 妈咪 has long stop writing for more than a year now. The last was that she had a miscarriage...

Now for the song, My Pride, it was been mentioned by someone who was encouraging Even 妈咪 in one of the comment, that Baby Even knew and felt his mommy's love and he is now an angel, flying and singing in the sky... I remember that I listen to the song for over a 1000th' times, I like the piano, guitar & violin playing, the girl's vocal was pretty nice too, but most of all, I thought a lot about baby Even, and many other babies who are transported into heaven because of death.

Yes, baby Even, who died before the age of accountability, is now in heaven. Children in heaven, although there are few specific Scriptures on this subject, what we do know, both from the love of God and the Word of God, suggests that the souls of all deceased little children, including the stillborn and those who have been cruelly aborted, since the world began, are with the Lord in heaven.

May all the mommies who had lost their precious baby be comforted. And may all of us who still have our little ones, love, hug and cherish them every moment in life.

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Matthew 19:14
