If a man walked up to YoU in the Street (62)

What a beautiful experience you have had speaking to this lovely little soul. Reading it pulled at my heart strings as well.

So young and yet so brave to be facing his fate. Who are we to judge his reality until we are in his shoes. He had a dream in which he was given hope and peace and a reason to put aside his fears of death (the unknown) and who would denigh him that.

The best lessons in faith, humility and innocence come from children who have not yet learnt to be sceptical and cynical of the world.

You did trick us a little bit though Prowler .....in that your brave little friend saw God in a dream and not as a flesh and blood human walking along the street. I think we would all have a little trouble beleiving a higher being would present himself as one of us mere mortals.

But what a lovely sad story and I wish your little mate all the very best for his battle ahead and sincerely hope his God will enable the medical profession to find a cure and enable him to live a long and full life. With a experience such as his in his young life he deserves to live.

Thanks for sharing

My Son was 3 1/2 years old when he died from a brain tumour, the day before he died he was sitting in his high chair, and started laughing and pointing and talking to someone who none of us could see, when we asked him who he was talking to he said, "Aunty Karen", Aunty Karen had died 6 months earlier, i have never been a believer as such but this really made me think that perhaps we really don't know everything there is to know, It kind of gives me comfort to think that maybe Karen came to help him on his way, like i said i'm neither here nor there about religion but i guess we won't know forsure until our time is up., So if a bloke walks up to you in the street and says he's god, well just maybe.......

Poor little mite... If he can take comfort and solace in believing that God spoke with him.. then there is nothing wrong with that..I think most people want to believe that there is a higher being that cares for them...especially when life is nearing the end.. it's only natural...
Sad story Prowler...

How sad that you lost your little boy justjim. No parent should ever have to go through loosing a child. I cannot imagine how that must feel but I empathise. There would be no greater human grief, I don't think.

You are right in what you say.....none of us will ever know what lies beyong death until our time is up.

But if thoughts and feelings give comfort to those passing and those left behind then it can only be a good thing, don't you think.

That's how I'd like to see it anyhow.

I agree with everything Lilee has said..

I believe my ol boy is up there doing another job he was called on to do... and that gives me comfort...

There are a lot of precious people in our lives. No what age they are when they are no longer with us in many senses, they do have an impact on us.

Having a faith of any sort does provide a comfort to so many
