A Grief Observed

"If a mother is mourning not for what she has lost, but for what her dead child has lost,  it is a comfort to believe that the child has not lost the end for which it was created." CS Lewis

You think about all the things Aiden didn't get to do in the immediate future:  play on the big playground with Sam (the first day's recess was SO hard, I had to leave the playground),  losing his first tooth (we also had a tooth come out the first day of school), learning to swim, ride a bike...

So is it a comfort to believe that Aiden is in heaven?

If he's not, then life does not make sense. And it is too ordered,too complex. So I too believe he is in heaven,keeping track of everything we are doing.
