Baptism audio

I think I told you I was looking through old emails around the time of your accident because I was curious to see what Pastor asked for as far as prayer goes for you. What prompted me to check was an email he sent out for Becky Banks who had a mild heart attack and he asked for her to be restored to health. I concluded that due to the nature of your injuries, maybe he thought restoration wasn't an option to pray for. Anyway, I'm over that-that's just a background to how I found the baptism audio.
   The kids and I listened to the recording a week ago Sunday (Dad was gone for the day, mad at me again). Pastor recorded a lovely introduction to explain what the recording was from, the date, etc. and how you were baptized with Alexis, Joseph and Joel. He also told about your accident and how you died with your family by your side.
  That part is what intrigued me. I don't know why he said that, but I was thinking about it and the doctors said you died sometime during the day on Thursday, August 20th. That's why I always have a problem of your death being August 21, 2015, because that's when they actually called it. When they let us in to see you that afternoon for the first time, we were singing songs to you like Jesus Loves Me and other kids' church songs. I'd like to think that you held on long enough for when we were in there to let go and that you were ushered into heaven's gates with us singing your way in. I'd like to think that you saw us there when you left your body and hovered above it. I'd like to think that you saw all of your friends too in the waiting room before you left. Bless your sweet heart, boy. Thanks for waiting for us-I wouldn't have wanted you to die alone. LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
