It was one of the sad news that I got for this year. The death of oe ex office mates child. He suffered so much to the extent that on the day he died, blood went out from his mouth, making it avery painful sight for the parents.
The mother was sleepless for a month in the hospital coz the father is away working for the livelihood of the family, the two young kids left at home to take care of themselves eating cold food.
I have seen the pain in their eyes, the sleepless nights, its time that the child could not bear all the pain he has gone through, from ivs and chemotherapies and even the painful bone marrow test. We have an office mate who died from leukemia and she was 31 years old and have been struggling witht the pain, how much more for a three year old child.
I pray for healing, I know the Lord will comfort them in this time of loss in their family, they lost an angel, but it was like borrowing the child from God and now its time for him to go home.

Zelmarq that really is tragic news. leukemia is such a horrible disease and it seems to go for those who are already vulnerable, I cannot imagine the pain that the poor boy has suffered in his short life and how his parents are suffering now. They need all the prayers they can get that eventually they will be able to remember him and Thank God that they got to borrow their Angel and that one day they will see him again! xxx

Yes, they will see each other in heaven, its a relief that they wont see the boy suffer. The parents can also now rest and be healed from so much pain.

when my father was going to the big medical center he said the thing that ripped him up the most is the little children going through the same thing as himself - these children who have never harmed anyone or anything in their precious short lives.
I am sorry for the people effected by the loss of this child.

Poor baby! Im so sorry for the familys loss. My father had leukemia back in 90. So I am very familiar with it. I remember he was so sick, lost alot of weight, he looked like he was at deaths door, we didnt know if he was going to make it. Luckily his brother was a perfect math and donated marrow for him. But the fight wasnt over. It still takes a long time to recover and get back to "normal". So far he hasnt got it back. Friday will be 18 years that he has survived his ordeal. I remember while we were in the hostpital we befriended a family who had a 2 year old son going through the same thing. It was hard enough seeing my father that way let alone a child. So inoccent and full of life. He to made it and is now 21.
Some make it and the ones who dont go to heaven to watch over and protect us. Its such a hard thing to loss anyone especially a child. I will pray for the familys healing at this tough time.

The family actually experienced the most painful event in their lives... i always hope and pray that my baby will grow up healthy, strong, and successful in the future... i cannot imagine my life without her... and i always think that i will die if i lose her...
The only consolation that we can think of... is that their baby is now an angel happy, free of pain, with God, and is looking after them constantly...
