Six month Jordan was born with the heart condition. He had a operation yesterday and had to go through another surgery within two hours of intial one. Things started to look positive when all of sudden , it took worse turn and he died. His father, who works with me, is still in denial. I felt sharp pain in the heart and trying to feel his pain:

lord ! hold my hand and show me peace for I am looking for a guide Did you know that little miracle and a sweet angel you gave me had just died? lord ! My life has changed I have lost happiness and all the joy Did you know that just last night I lost my boy? lord ! I am sitting in a rocking chair looking in the dark hoping to hear a cry I can't erase the memory neither I can bring time back no matter how I try ! Lord ! now I am left to ask you "why"? all I ask now is to show me my little angel shining as a star in a dark sky

I am praying for the peace of his soul and to give strength to the parents. Please you do the same !
Thanks for listening !
