When the song was being sung I felt a strong breeze swoosh across my face. There were no doors or windows open at the time. I knew Jenny was still there with us for the last time. Janell Watson and her family sang. Dori Lee, Jennifer’s nursery leader talked about her memories of our daughter. A speaker at the funeral recited a poem. It described a ship setting out to sea. When we can no longer see it, we say, “There she goes,” yet someone on the other side of the horizon says, “here she comes.”
I’m very sure with every fiber of my being that Jenny’s Grandparents were waiting on the other side, exclaiming literally, “here she comes.”
An autopsy was done by the hospital to inquire into the cause of death for Jennifer. When it was completed we were disappointed at the results. All they could discover was that she had a virus.
There are eighty different kinds of viruses and they were unable to isolate the type. Her death certificate medicinally stated her cause of death was “acute viral sepsis.” We continued on without her. She was gone!
You never get over losing a child; you just learn to live with it.
