For Noah

Today was always going to be a hard day. Going to a funeral so soon after my mums was going to be tough. Added to that was the fact that this funeral was for a newborn baby. It was so incredibly heartbreaking to think of a new life snuffed out before it really began. To see the grief of the parents as we looked at the tiny white coffin.
How prophetic that we had had to cancel the baby shower at the end of last term because the father of the child had been ill.

I saw this crepuscular as I was heading into town and thought of God in His infinite wisdom and the soul of Noah who now sits with Him
