This came from my husband (Shawn) mom. She wrote it for us the day of our son's funeral and I wanted everyone to read it:
Ethan was an angel here as he is, I'm sure in heaven. And he would want us to hear these words...
"I would not like you to cry, it's just a part of life to die. I know you miss me and you're sad, but dying isn't something sad. I'm only just beyond your sight, I've gone with the angels to the light. I send to all of you my love, from heaves gardens up above. I like it here, I'm having fun. And I am with God. I'm sitting on his knee, with Jesus watching over me. So many souls I knew, were waiting here at Heaven's door, to welcome me with open arms. And keep me safe and warm. So when you think of of me, please smile for I will see you in awhile. Trust the Lord, don't ask him "why". He wanted me here to paint the skies with rainbows, clouds and shining lights. To brighten the days and warm your nights. Remember what I said before. Please! don't cry for me anymore, for you see, I'm Heaven's child. I play with the angels. I can fly with the speed of thought. To be with you when I'm not. So please, please remember I love you. I know you loved me. And even now we're apart I will always be right here...........in your heart."
At the time I never really read this or listened to until today and Ethan always loved looking up at the clouds and the stars. And he loved looking at the bright colors in rainbows. Ethan loved everyone he meet and came in contact with. My dad says that God needed an angel that was pure of mind, heart and soul. He needed someone that didn't prejudge anyone and was not tainted by the way society is. And that was Ethan he said. He always smiled and got excited to see anyone and had the biggest heart for a baby.
To all of my friends that have been there for me and my family, Thank you. And for those that knew Ethan would understand what my dad and I mean about his love.
And to my "little man" Ethan:
I love you and miss you. I know you will always be with me in my heart forever..........
