Aug. 14, 2000 ~ Oct. 3, 2000
Emmanuel Louis Northington entered
this world on August 14, 2000
at 5 p.m. He weighed 7 lb. 10 oz. and
measured 19 in. in length. Emmanuel
was welcomed by his older sister
Jasmine, his parents and his grandparents.
He was born with a heart defect. Because
this condition was known prior to his
birth, the doctors had already
decided what course of action
they were going to take.
On Thursday
August 17, 2000 Emmanuel underwent what
would have been his first
of several operations to repair
the condition of his heart.
He came through the surgery
fine, and as far as everyone knew he
was well on his way to
recovery.
After the feeding
tube was removed, the Dr.
said when he gained more
weight he could go home.
Emmanuel suddenly, on Oct. 3, 2000,
with almost no warning,
went to Heaven to join his
Grandfather, who had went there a few
yrs before. He was such a
strong little fighter.
I am just sorry I never
got to meet little Emmanuel
myself. I work with Emmanuel's
Grandma, and know how hurt she was
at the passing of her only Grandson.
We talk of him often. She smiles
the biggest smile and has
a "Grandma's twinkle" in her eyes
as she remembers her short time
with him. Emmanuel's parents live very
far away from his Grandma,
so she didn't get a chance
to see him as much as she liked but
she was so looking
forward to seeing him and
loving him as only the way a
Grandma knows how.
God,
Bless the Northington family,
and be merciful with them.
Please let Emmanuel know just
how much he is loved and missed.
We pray.
Directions to the Cross
When things don't go as
you had plannned,
When life seems to have
dealt you a bad hand,
Remember, you were chosen
just for the task.
When hope is a long
forgotten friend,
When you can see no
end in sight,
Remember, His ways are
not our ways.
When others say there
is no chance at all,
When there are no
tears left to cry,
Remember, He too was
condemmed to die.
When silence is a
close companion,
When you have been
tapped completely dry,
Remember, he came
to give us life.
When sadness has
overcome your smile,
When laughter no longer
has a sound,
Remember, He will never
for sake you!!!
