Princess Kelsey has Received her Butterfly Wings and Heavenly Tiara

I went to Kelsey's page to send her mom a picture I made. Then I found out she passed away. I guess I'm a bit shocked...I mean, I knew the odds were stacked against her, but she's such a trooper...I just can't believe it.......I'm trying to hold myself together, but it's impossible...I want Kelsey back, playing and happy...I don't want her family to be hurting. I know she's free and happy in heaven with her beautiful butterfly wings, but I know that her family is hurting so badly...not only the devastation of your precious child having these "designer genes" that would rip away what we naturally perceive as a "happy childhood", but to then "lose" your child all together......it's the worst-case-scenario for a human being. I can't imagine the pain. To be left on earth, when your child, the product of your love, goes on to heaven.....

Here is a poem I wrote a while back. You're probably getting tired of it by now, as I've used it a few times on this blog, but this time it really fits...I didn't know it then, but this seems to have been written precisely for Kelsey.

Fly high butterfly
Dance with Jesus in the sky
As every day goes by and by
We ask the Lord why oh why

...Why an angel had to die.

We know that death is not a period,
But a comma in the journey Home
We will see you again someday,
Until then, in Heaven you roam.

"...They had no sudden healing
To think that providence would take a child from his mother while she prays, is appalling...
Who told us we'd be rescued?
What has changed and
Why should we be saved from nightmares
We're asking why this happens to us
Who have died to live, it's unfair...
This is what it means to be held
How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive..."
-From "Held", performed by Natalie Grant


Here is the picture I made, dedicated to "Butterfly Princess Kelsey"

I used a couple of different resources to make it, and in their terms of use it asks that I credit them, so here it is-
-the tiara is from http://scrapbookflair.com
-the wings are by http://flickr.com/audreyjm529 (and then I edited them a lot)
-the flower is from http://flickr.com/matze_ott
