Solena. She was an incredibly happy girl: always laughing, always running, a very free spirit. She was loved and she loved. Having been brought to Rescue with AIDS, she was well cared for and given the proper medicine she needed. One day last week she started having seizures due to what we thought was a fever, but the doctors though meningitis. After almost a week in the hospital, she passed away.
If there is one thing that I have learned through the passing of my dad is that God does not always heal in the way we expect. Heaven is the perfect healing; and, although we do not always understand on earth, God knows what he's doing. It is through our selfishness that we want to be with the person we love, and that is what brings the pain. We often are confused and shocked when someone passes, especially a child. I can only think that God is sitting up in Heaven and thinking, "now is the time that I take away all her suffering", so He does.
Solena will be missed by the large family that she inherited through Rescue. But ultimately she has been rescued from the pain of this world. Please pray for those left behind.
