The true spirit

Last night, on Christmas, a young girl passed away. I never got to meet her, but through her short life of 5 years, I saw the spirit many times. I worked at the bank with her Daddy up until last year. He is a kind hearted person and I couldn't imagine what he and his family had been going through in the last 2.5 years. I was so saddened this morning when I woke up to find out his little girl had passed last night, on Christmas of all days. It was a blessing I know, but a hard one to swallow I'm sure. The family, while relieved that their daughter is not in pain any longer, is grieving and will spend the rest of this season doing so. I just can't imagine....and my heart breaks for them. I am grateful for the opportunity to know them and to have followed their story the last few years. Grateful that I learned something that no one else could teach me. Grateful that Regan is in heaven now, pain free and with God. Grateful that her family can now be at peace, even while missing her with every breath. God bless you, Harper family.
