I don’t know if I ever imagined swings in heaven until today, but I’m sure that they are there.

My nephew VJ passed away this week after a long and hard battle with hypo-plastic left heart syndrome along with plastic bronchitis. Throughout his fight, we saw many miracles. There were days the doctors said he wouldn’t make it through the night but he did. There were situations where they said things wouldn’t turn around and without medical reason, they did. Finally, this week, God and VJ said ‘enough’. Enough of this broken world, it’s time to go to heaven.
When I look at this picture all I can imagine is that this is exactly what VJ is doing right now in heaven. Swinging, laughing, and having a great time.
VJ, in the short time you were here, you changed our lives forever. I love you. I look forward to the day when I will see you again.
Oh Donna! My heart is breaking for you and your family. I wish you all the best during what is an extremely difficult time.
I'm so sorry to hear that Donna. That's a beautiful picture your niece took.. what a precious boy. When I think about my loved ones who have passed away it always comforts me to know I'll see them again someday. I hope you and your family can take some comfort in that.
Oh my, what a beautiful little boy. Heaven is brighter with his bright smiling face. In times like these…there are never the right words. My thought and prayers are with you and your family.
Lovely tribute.
My thoughts are with you and your entire family. I know VJ is swinging in heaven with a large smile and is being pushed by his Uncle Sal.
