The screen glowed softly in the dark room as the video began to play.
A hospital room appeared, pale and sterile, filled with the buzzing of machines and the weight of unspoken memories.

On the bed lay a mother, exhausted but still alive, her body still aching after childbirth, her heart overflowing with happiness.
And standing beside her was a little boy named Will, only three years old, clutching something incredibly fragile in his arms.
For the first time in his life, the boy held his baby sister, Charlie Jane.
His small hands trembled, not just with excitement, but with something heavier than joy itself.
His eyes never left her face, except for the occasional glances toward his mother, as if he were checking her.
Watching now.
Protect.
This is worrying.
Even then, before Will had the words to understand it, he was terrified.
He wasn’t afraid of his sister, but of the place they were in.
Because in the world of a three-year-old child, a hospital doesn’t mean a place for healing.
They meant goodbye.
Just eleven months earlier, the boy had stood in a similar room and learned a truth that no child should ever know so early.
That his eldest sister, Darby Kate, would not be coming home anymore.
Although her physical body is gone, her love lives on.

That paradise really does exist.
And the person he loves is currently living there.
For Will, Heaven wasn’t an abstract concept whispered softly before bedtime.
Heaven is a personal matter.
Heaven is his younger sister.
So when he walked into that hospital again, carrying a newborn baby wrapped in blankets far too large for its tiny body, fear followed him.
Fear is something this place only knows how to instill.
The fear that love and loss are always so closely intertwined.
The fear that hugging someone might mean losing them.
But he still hugged her.
He embraced Charlie Jane with a tenderness that seemed far beyond his years.
He didn’t squeeze.
He didn’t move at all.
The boy didn’t smile brightly or laugh out loud like most other children when they first meet their siblings.
Instead, he observed her.
It was as if he were trying to remember her image.
As if to make sure she was real.
It was as if he were silently promising her something that only his heart could express.
Around them, life goes on.
The doctors came and went.
The machine beeps.
The world outside the hospital continued to spin, unaware that inside that room, a little boy was carrying within him both pain and love.

His parents, Jason and his mother, looked at him with hearts that were both aching and overflowing with happiness.
They made a mistake.
They stumbled.
They have been questioning themselves constantly since the loss of Darby Kate.
They wondered if they had done enough.
If they’ve protected themselves well enough.
If only they had taught their children the right things amidst their unspeakable pain.
But their answer appeared right on the screen, frozen in that moment.
Through the way Will hugged his sister.
He looked at his mother’s face with a scrutinizing gaze.
The way he stood there, silent, serious, and deeply aware of everything.
They taught him compassion.
They taught him about love that never disappears with death.

They taught him compassion, not through lessons, but through sharing pain together.
And even though the chaos of life often leads them to doubt themselves, God is always quietly present in every detail.
The perfect timing for love.
With powers bestowed upon a three-year-old boy.
In the breath of a newborn baby girl.
In an invisible embrace that supports them all when they feel they can no longer hold on.
That evening, the mother watched the video over and over again.
Each time this happened, her chest tightened, but her spirit became calmer.
Because now she understands something she couldn’t understand before.
That moment was sacred.
It’s not because it’s painless, but because it’s full of truth.
Love and pain can coexist.
Joy cannot erase sadness.
And God never abandons us, even when our hearts are broken.
She whispered a quiet prayer into the darkness.
Thank God for the three precious children He has entrusted to us.
Thank God that our loved ones are now resting peacefully with Him in Heaven.
Thank you both for always being with us on this earth.
Thank you for the love that remains even after the loss.

Thank you for the lessons written not to comfort others, but to encourage them.
Tonight, the pain still lingers.
But tonight, peace will come.
Things are better today.
And even in those scars, God is always present.
