We'll see you when we get home

I hope this isn't disrespectful but I want to link to a blog about a little boy's life. His name was Edward "Teddy" Paul Bayliss and he was the son of friends of a guy whose blog I follow. He was born very early and died after only three weeks. The reason I want to link to the blog is because I found his Dad's attitude very beautiful and amazing. The posts are threaded with joy at having Teddy around even though the whole time things were grim, and there is such thankfulness at the blessing of Teddy's little self. I was also struck by his Dad's confident anticipation that his son would enjoy a wonderful life in heaven. Knowing Jesus changes everything.

The blog only has two pages, so short was Teddy's life. Here's the first and here's the second.

I'm so sad to hear. We knew the Bayliss' in Sydney, though not all that well. It was their house in Campbell st that we moved into in our last year. Thanks for posting, so moving and sad to read but I'm glad we know so we can pray for them.
