“Lord, you gave me this precious son of mine for a season and with it the great responsibility and joy of guiding him. Now I entrust him back into Your loving arms. Thank You for the joy he gave me and the pride I had as I watched him grow. Pour out Your loving comfort and strength to me and to all who feel his loss so acutely. May he rest in Your eternal embrace, and may we be reunited in Your heaven.” Amen
