Kyle, my wife and I, along with my children, will remember you in our Rosary today to pray and wish you all the strength and hope to carry on with this ultimate test of your vocation as a father and a parent. The ultimate test of genuine love is when one does not expect anything in return. Your willingness to choose this narrow road, shows your incredible faith. You are one in a million. Where there is life, there is always the image and likeness of God.

Before you totally give up hope, you might read Peter Medawar on anencephaly, in his book ARISTOTLE TO ZOOS.

Kyle
Aquinas held that in the resurrected life, we get our body as it would have been at its best peak and minus defects plus glorified. Thus he noted that Christ died at 33 which would have been His peak but Aquinas didn’t notice one thing….that repeatedly after the resurrection, people recognized Christ but not right away as on the beach and at Emmaus. Christ’s peak then could have been 26 or 37 and at first this difference made them not recognize Him.
You will see Vivian in the resurrected life when she is about 26 or whatever her peak and she will be minus her disease and she will be glorified and you will know her immediately. As Paul said: “He who raised up Jesus, will raise us up also and place us with you.”

Kyle,

I pray for you and your family, that you all may receive the grace and peace of Christ through this time. Perhaps your grace and peace will provide a holy example for others.

My prayers are with you all. What a post this is – and so sacramental. It speaks to the heart of a life of faith. No matter what I write, my words fall short, so I will leave it at that and just say thank you, God bless you.
