sophia, our sunshine

 

 31.08.2004-06.24.2008

on the 24th of june, the day of st. john sophia’s guardian angel said:
“dear sophia, on this solstice day, as that the sun is rising through the highest path in the sky, god spoke to me and said: take sophia’s hand and guide her across the sun’s arch back into heaven.”
and so it happened.
all the butterflies, bees, bumblebees, and lady bugs accompanied sophia as she ascended into heaven. the angles danced in the air and the nymphs revived the water of all seas, rivers, the trees, every mountain and meadows. and all living beings were surrounding Sophia.

am 24. juni, am johannitag sprach sophias schutzengel:
„liebe sophia, am heutigen tag der sonnenwende, da wo die sonne ihre höchste bahn am himmel zieht, sagete der liebe gott zu mir: nimm Sophia an der hand und bring sie auf dem sonnenbogen wieder zurück in den himmel.“
und so geschah es.
und die schmetterlinge, die bienen und hummelbärchen, und käferlein begleiteten sophia auf ihrer himmelsreise. die engelein tanzten in der luft und die nympfen belebten das wasser der meere, der fluesse, die baeume, alle berge und felder. und alle lebewesen waren um sophia herum.

the words of frau lut lernout to our son, my husband, and i. our sunshine is gone. we are so sad. we are so broken.

    Dear Elsa,
    Your friend’s words are so beautiful - ‘the angels danced in the air’ - those words ring with the sound of a big, beautiful truth - though it may be too big for us to see all of and understand from here on earth. I wish we could see the reasons better, and I wish I had words to ease your sadness….
    You and your family are still in our thoughts and prayers - prayers for comfort, peace of mind and heart, and whatever moments of joy that you can find by the light of your Moon.
    Sending you much Big love,
    tinker

    When I learned about your little angel’s struggle through Constance, my heart of a mother turned to your family in prayers.
    Please know that are many of us out who care and wish they could soften your loss and bring your extraordinaire angel back in your arms. But she is all around you, today and forever. I am sure of that. xox Isabel
