Loren and I had a "first" this morning. For the first time, we had to tell Hayes and Evan of a death of a child. We had to tell them Morgan left this earth. We had to tell them that God was done seeing Morgan hurt. God was done seeing her suffer. God had enough. God did not see fit to give Morgan and earthly healing. He gave her so much more. He gave her a Heavenly healing. Morgan deserved so much better then this old world had to offer.
These babies cannot understand why Morgan had to leave and frankly most of us adults don't understand either. We will never fully understand until we are able to look upon Jesus' face just as Morgan was able to do today. The prayers that were once said for Morgan are now being said for her family.
The first time I met Morgan was at Lake Degray. Her family was camping at the same time our family was. She really liked Evan. I remember watching her and Evan play chicken fight in the water. She bossed Evan every step of the way..... and like a gentleman.... Evan listened. One of Evan's responses this morning when we had to tell him she was gone was "now she is cancer-free". Yes Evan, she is cancer free.
I have lived in Glen Rose all of my life. There have been many events that have taken place over the years in my hometown. Nothing has EVER impacted this community like the life that little Morgan Anderson led. Her life was short, eight years is not long enough. But Morgan accomplished more in 8 short years then I will accomplish in my lifetime. Not one single person from GR will be able to look at a ladybug and not think of "our" ladybug. Morgan did her job and now it is time for her to rest. We are all better from having known her.
My heart hurts so much for the Anderson family.
