'Belonging to God'

Sometimes we just need to embrace certain deaths. I learnt that the hard way but it helped me to see that life wasn't the end journey, so sometimes I often imagine how heaven feels, how lovely it would be for those we lost untimely.

I had a little brother, he only stayed for 20 days and in those 20 days I was the most happier big sis, though I went through some certain trauma because he lost his life in my very hands, Dominic was one of the most gorgeous baby I had seen, he had more smiles then any baby I had ever seen.

His birth was a blessing because he stayed in my mom's womb for 11 months. It got even scarier when they found out she had a fibroid with the baby in her womb which almost took his life but he survived, so she went through surgery to give birth to him. I remember how much pain my Mom went through but it was worth it seeing Dominic was all well.

He brought more love and peace in our household, he was an embodiment of love, and I'm not kidding he made us more close than usual as a family, I remember one time we all sat down in our sitting room watching avenger series, and he was staring at the television like he knew what was going on, I held him in my hands and everytime I try to get his attention he would just stare at the television. Me and my siblings just watched him in admiration. I could never forget all the kisses I gave him that night.

Who knew it would be a memory today, I was so sure he was going to grow healthy and strong like the rest of us, I was like his second mommy after our mom, but his time was short and I recalled that day like it was yesterday, how his heart stop beating, how he turned pale white and how his eyes lost their colors.

I cried my soul out but I also learnt that God knew what he was doing when he took him away, I knew he was probably in a better place, maybe even more happier than he was with us, I really do miss him alot, but eventually I had to let him go not from my heart because he always had a place there.

So the first time I heard this song, I could relate to it so much, it revealed my emotions. I often think about little Dominic. I hope he's dancing in the sky. I hope the angels treat him so well and if he eventually comes back on earth, I hope we could meet again.

I later learnt that Dominic means “Belonging to God” so his father who loves him more than we could ever love him had called him back home.
