Dealing with Death

You could say its a cruel world or blame others or try to give an explanation why this happens to such young or good people.I want to tell you a story of a little baby who touched so many lives. On December 10,2010 little max was born. He was born with CDH which is Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia. Even before this little guy was born the Doctors told us that he would not survive that long which proved to be wrong. Max went through surgeries to try to repair this event that was taking place in his little body. Some days were better then others.Just when we thought he was not going to make it he would fool us and keep fighting.My family posted his days on facebook and other sites of interest.There were people who were praying for this little guy all over the United States,giving hope to others by his fight to live.I will never forget that fateful night when I got the call that max went home to be with the lord.All I could think of was how and why did this happen.Blaming the Doctors for just giving up or yet God for taking him away from us.Well let me tell you another side of this story.The day of the funeral I will never forget either.As I went from my cousins house to the church I was so depressed and my head was hung so low.We arrived at the church to a parking lot that was filled with cars from back to front. As we walked into the church, there was a line waiting to get into the church sanctuary.Finally we were all seated and I looked up to see all these people that one little baby's life had touched.You see as the pastor began to speak I understood Gods plan.He used little Max to spread the word of hope and life that we so seldom take for granted.So I say to you how are you living your life? I know that little boy has changed mine. Love you Max
