Sabina became an angelUnfortunately the help of the neurologist came too late and in December her last pneumonia turned out to be fatal. On December 30th, a cold and snowy day, we just were able to lay her in the hospital bed and she sighed one last time and then slipped away. The words "keep on fighting, I’ll make it up to you" could not keep her on earth, her time had come.On January 4th, the snow had vanished miraculously; we buried her on a bed of roses, because the ground was too hard for a delicate rose like she was. During her funeral, "Hero" by Mariah Carey was played as this song is connected to her; whenever we had difficult times ahead like surgery, I sang a few lines to her, to help her keep on fighting. ".....So when you feel like hope is gone, look inside you and be strong, and you’ll finally see the truth, that a hero lies in you...." And a hero she was and is, a little tough lady, who made us more human and taught us many things, like unconditional love, what really matters in life and what does not. Her task on this earth was completed and we, the parents she had chosen to bear all this with her, had to let her go, with a terrible pain in our hearts. But we are proud to have been touched by this angel, who was too beautiful for earth. Sabina, till we meet again! God’s gardenGod looked around his garden and He saw an empty spaceHe then looked down upon this earth and saw your tired face He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest God’s garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best He saw the road was getting rough, the hills harder to climb, So He closed your weary eyelids and whispered "peace be thine" It broke my heart to lose you, but you did not go alone For part of me went with you, the day He called you home If tears could build a staircase and memories a lane, I’d walk all the way to heaven and bring you home again (some lines of her memorial card) |
