friend's 5 yr old son on a vent with pneumonia pg 20

[mookie]

Wow, such a sad story. Makes you want to hold your little ones that much closer.

to you and Kyree's family.

 

[fortheluvofpooh]

(((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))) I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of this precious child. His family will be in my prayers.

 

[SueM in MN]

So sad to hear the update.
Sending prayers of comfort to his family.

Jewel, Kyree has Angel written all over that stunningly beautiful face of his. What a beautiful child. Be assured that a donation will be going out in the mail today. Still sending prayers of healing for his family. And since my dad went to the Lord 15 years ago, I'll bet he's met Kyree and is teaching him how to fish!!!!

 

[missypie]

What a doll...such beautiful curls. Five year old boys are such bundles of unbridled energy. I bet his mom is stunned by how quiet the house is.

I had been following this thread and just saw Kyree on the local news. I didn't realize he was from my area. What a beautiful boy. I'm so sorry for this loss.

 

[Jewel1310]

Kyree is beautiful isn't he. His curls were amazing. We put together pictures of him last night for his services and they were beautiful. It was such a privilege to help out in that way.

Dizz thank you for the thought of sending a donation - that is kind. I do hope that your Dad and Kyree met. If not already I am betting soon.

Missy I am sure you are right that the house is quiet. That would one of the really hard parts.

cde shocking when it is in our area. He received great care at Hershey Med and I was grateful they had the equipment available to do their best to allow him to heal.

Thanks again to all who have shown their care and concern.

Today was Kyree's funeral. There was standing room only. It was incredible sad but a lovely tribute to Kyree. My heart goes out to him mom and his brother.

On the drive home we saw multiple rainbows – more than I have seen before in my whole life. We saw at least 6 of them at various locations. One time there was a double rainbow. One appeared to go into the area right beside us. I know it was a natural phenomenon, but to me it was Kyree finger painting in heaven.

Thanks again to everyone for the very kind and compassionate comments on this thread through out this time. Thank you for caring.

My heart is just broken for this mom and family and friends. I am so sorry.

I was thinking about Kyree today. It's funny you should see rainbows. My father died in the wintertime, but on the day of his funeral we saw one. And it was a double one. My kids (who were very young when my dad died) got very excited as only a 1 year old and a 3 year old can, and I told them that every time they see a rainbow it means grandpa's sending his love to them. And honestly they're 16 and 18 now, and they still say hi to grandpa when they see rainbows. It will be that way with Kyree. Where there's beauty there's never-ending love.

 

[Jewel1310]

DizzDoll - Wow. Not only is that an amazing similarity the fact that your children still remember that is wonderful. I think you are right when ever we see a rainbow we will think of Kyree. I am hoping one of the pictures we took, on a camera phone, will be clear enough that we can give it to his mom. Thanks for sharing that.

i came here looking for good news and find this...i am soo upset right now. i am crying like he is one of my own family members. i had so much hope for him and now i feel lost. whats the point of prayer if it doesnt work..im so confused.

 

[luvwinnie]

I have been away all week and came on to check on Kyree. I am so saddened to hear of his passing. Praying for his family.

Please don't be upset.
The thing about prayer is that even if we pray for what we want most in the world- God's ways are not always our own. He always answers prayer. SOmetimes it just isn't the answer that humanly we desire.
God is God. We are not. He is still on His throne. He is still there, giving peace, giving comfort.

Kyree and so many others that we have loved and prayed for are not here. But the fact of the matter is, while it hurts those left behind to the point sometimes of insanity-- to God, our time on earth is over in the blink of an eye. When you think in terms of "Forever" that we exist--- our time here, living, is such a small fraction of that existence.
We were not put here to live here forever. We're here to at some point go to live with Our God in Heaven.

Sometimes our human nature just wants us to hold onto all that we have in our lives and we feel that when our loved one is gone, it is so unfair. But God is there, still working in our lives.

There is a reason He is God and we are not. He sees the beginning and the end of our lives. We only see what has passed and what we are dealing with now.


And no, there is no rational reason for a child to die. There are so many things that if I would like to ask God.

But again- my mind cannot comprehend God's ways.

So know that just because this child is gone, he is only gone from here and us. He is very much alive, and very much living. We just cannot see his physical shape with our eyes.


When I start to question why things are the way they are in my life, I am always convicted to open my Bible and read Job 38- 42. It is God answering Job, who had lost everyone and everything but his life. God took his children, his family, all his worldly possessions. And he did not understand. Please read it. It will give you some comfort to know that God is God, and no one else is.


And look at what this little boys death has done just here on this thread. It has made so many of us pray like we haven't in a long time.

And that is not a bad thing.


Jo

Forgot to say---


Jewel.... How are Kyree's Mom and brother doing? My prayers are still with them both.

The key line of the Lord's Prayer is: Thy Will Be Done. Prayer always works - just not necessarily according to our own wishes and desires. We ALL prayed for life for Kyree - he received Eternal Life. We can't second guess God. My own dad passed away 6 hours after he and my mother went home after having dinner at my house and playing with the grandkids, and watching college hoops with my then-husband. Went to bed and never woke up. We are all left wondering. The answer is not always clear but the Lord knows what He's doing. THis is where faith comes in. Don't despair and don't give up on prayer.

I am stunned and just so saddened to hear this news.

I think the rainbows are Kyree's way of letting you all know that he is a peace.

I am just in tears. This is a wonderful sign of God's promise.

You are not alone. And I hope his Mom was also encouraged by the rainbows.

God is still on His throne.

I hope it is clear enough, too...

But I also know that that picture...no matter how inadequate...will serve as an extra remembrance of that beautiful day.
