He really did not have a chance at life.......Half a heart, numerous G.I. issues, not to mention two open heart surgeries, and exploratory surgery, and another open heart on the way. But Gabe did not stop fighting! Every day he was here with us left us with more love in our hearts than the previous day. He walked around with a perpetual smile on his face. He grinned at the odds and chances and took them head on.
Who could have ever thought a two year old could have had so much impact on every ones life? I am a different person for being his father. I am a different husband because of what my wife and I went through with him. I am a different christian because of the depths of God's loved for my family and my son. I will no longer tell God he can not do something.
I have watched my son fight for two years. Tuesday, the fight ended. I held him in my arms as he left to be with his heavenly father. He went peacefully and painlessly. God wanted him back. Can you blame him?
The world got a little dimmer yesterday. I believe heaven is glowing with the laughter of a child who a has a whole heart, a head full of blond hair, and a mischievous grin on his face!
I miss you already...............
