1 John 5:12

"Whoever has God's Son has life. Whoever does not have His Son does not have life."

This is a letter to a young girl who's "life" has been cut short to an unknown traumatic event, leaving her "brain dead" and on her way home to live out her final days.

Dear Kayleigh,

We may have never "taught" the lessons of Christ to you...you may have never attended Sunday school with other little children, but you already know all about Him. You, though only so small, have a life so big. You, in all of this, have struggled. Yet, you, in all of this, was never alone. Your parents, bless their hearts, have swaddled you close and whispered sweet nothings in your ear. Your parents, have shared your miracle with the world, reminding all that anything is possible and that they are human, just like the rest of us, wanting so much, for that one prayer to be answered.

God's Son has always been there, holding your small fingers between His. God's Son has always been there, whispering in your ear, sweet tidings and lullabies of old. You know of Him without our teachings, without the ability to read from the Good Book. While, you are meeting Him all too soon for our comfort, you still have life, and will always be a living miracle to many.

While we fight with the unanswered prayer, we miss out on the answer--that you do have Life through Christ. You will be the teacher, we shall be your students. You will teach us, and most of all your parents, that God, through toils and earthly woes, will always be there for them, for us, and most of all for you.

We pray for your family that they will be able to heal from this journey. And that your short-life, will provide them memories that surpass the 10 months you've lived here on Earth. We pray that while we do not have the ability to match their sufferings, that we'll be able to surround them with the Love of Christ...and that you'll look down from above and whisper sweet nothings into their ears.

Kayleigh, there will be a day when we all see Jesus face to face. May He guide you through the Heavens, your hand in His, with the many other children amongst the clouds.
