Say it Isn’t So….

January 8, 2009

Little Connor James Neff died yesterday.  Here is the story we received through email from my Aunt Norma Jean’s sister Nancy….

Connor is safely home with Jesus now.  This morning when they took him off the respirator his lungs collapsed.  That was the turning point.  They took all the machines away, and Kelly held Connor on the rocking chair, and Jim knelt beside her, whispering to Connor.  Bob and Pam and NJ and Larry (all grandparents) were there, and Connor’s heart stopped at about 11:20 this morning.

Bob and Pam are having lunch with NJ and Larry at their house.  Jim and Kelly asked them to take all their things from the Ronald McDonald room, where they were staying, to their house before Jim and Kelly go there, and to put the baby things in the nursery and close the door.  Norma Jean is expecting Jim and Kelly to come to their house this afternoon before they go home.

My heart aches for the parents going home to an empty nursery.  Such wonderful expectations, and now such a different reality to deal with.  Connor is safe, and we are sad.

so sad.
