Intimations of Immortality

A perfect little angel that just came into this world three weeks ago, thus the name "Cielo" for heaven in Spanish, but she only has to stay for a while with mommy and daddy. The doctor's have to operate her heart's severe condition which she was not able to bear. She went back to heaven. Her mortal probation has been fulfilled. 

 

Mommy Kitch and Baby Cielo

With her passing comes the momentary grief; but our Dear Father in Heaven's plan surpasses all our understanding about mortality. We are precious in His eyes and he wants us back in His arms. Baby Cielo, just has to be with Him again sooner that any of our family members, nor anybody else who are still living in this world right now.

This is a William Wordsworth ode, but today, I am dedicating it to baby Bennette Cielo Uy Mendoza, my husband's cousin's daughter: 

Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:
The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star,
     Hath had elsewhere its setting,
          And cometh from afar:
     Not in entire forgetfulness,
     And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come
     From God, who is our home:
Heaven lies about us in our infancy!
Shades of the prison-house begin to close
     Upon the growing Boy (girl),
But He (she) beholds the light, and whence it flows,
     He(she) sees it in his(her) joy;
The Youth, who daily farther from the east
     Must travel, still is Nature's Priest,
     And by the vision splendid
     Is on his(her) way attended;
At length the Man(woman) perceives it die away,

And fade into the light of common day.

I just want the family of baby Cielo to know that death is not the end. Heavenly Father sent us appointed living prophets to let us know, through His proclamation about the family that, "The divine plan of happiness enables family relationships to be perpetuated beyond the grave. Sacred ordinances and covenants available in holy temples make it possible for individuals to return to the presence of God and for families to be united eternally." This is a true statement and I leave this with my own testimony that families can be together forever because our Father in Heaven loves us.

Go to God little one, we'll see you again.
