Remembering Jonathan David: 18 Months

Dear Son,

Today you would have been 18 months old and we are remembering you today in a special way. How we miss you! How we wish we could be with you! We often wonder what you are like right now in heaven... But for sure we know that you are so well, only having fun and completely healed. The image of Jesus with his arms around you holding you gives us much comfort. How we wish we could hold you again! But until we are called home to join you, we are comforted knowing that you are better than us. Your little brother, for example, in his short life so far has already experienced fever and pain. But you haven't and never will! And because of this, because of your eternal perfect life, we thank our Lord Jesus today even more for all that He has done for us. Because of Him, you are well, because of Him, we will be together again forever.

We love you so much. Even though the pain of losing you is less, even though we have experienced joy again, be sure that you will always be remembered and loved. And as soon as your baby brother Daniel can understand, be sure that he will know about you, his big brother.

With all our love and many, many kisses, touching your sweet face in heaven,

Mamae and Papa
