Thank you for sharing your heart.

Yes, life is so short, and our end is always near, only a breath and a heartbeat away.

May God bless you and your family.

Thank you for sharing your grief with us, and giving a very profound reflection through your suffering. You certainly have given me more to think about, i.e. be ready. Any moment may be your last, and being always in a state of grace, and pleasing to God, or at least trying to be, is important. God bless you all in your time of grief. Keeping you and yours in my prayers 🙏🏻

Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us all. And may your little St. Gabriel guide you and your family to Eternal Beatitude. May Our Blessed Mother wrap her mantle around you and provide consolation for your loss. Amen!

Thank you, Kennedy, for expressing your family's loss in a way to awake us all from our state of living here on earth. Much time is wasted and Gabriel's life is a call to us to shift our focus. No matter what we accomplish in an earthly way - you are right - what good is it if we do not share in the heavenly journey as Gabriel has?
