One day God and the archangel Michael were taking a stroll by the golden
gates. They saw all of the people waiting in line to be admitted to
heaven. Glancing down the line. Michael saw that one of the people was
just a tiny infant. "God, that child should not be up here yet." He
exclaimed. "She is far too young to be up here. Why she has barely
arrived on earth! You took her back too soon." God looked at Michael
and replied. "She might not have been on earth very long, but to her
and her family it was a lifetime. 17 days may seem like the blink of an
eye to some people, but to her family, it was a lifetime. This child was
shown how to love and knew that she was loved. She knew love and she knew
peace. I gave her a big heart to hold all of that love. She will always
be loved, but the type of love that she needed most and was destined to
have could not be given to her on earth. She could get it here however.
I know her family will be sad, but she will be able to be a happy,
healthy child here. She will be like any other child and she will never
have to grow up. Her family will miss her greatly, but she will always
be with them. I have given each of them a special spot in their hearts
where she will forever be." And with that, God walked over to the child
and took her in his arms. "Come with me child." He whispered. "I will
take to a place where you will forever be happy. Your grand-maman is
waiting for you." Then baby Joséphine was taken through the golden gates
to eternal happiness.
