To Axel

How brief the stretch of life’s journey
you shared with us
Yet how abundantly
your gifts were bestowed -
A pure and absolute joy
An exuberant delight
in the amazing world around you
A smile to light up our lives
A bond of love
To hold in our hearts forever.

This tragedy in the Red Bubble community touched me very deeply, as I have been blessed with 4 beautiful children myself.

    Beautiful and very touching. What a loving community the Bubble is. I saw a red balloon fly over our home earlier on and thought about little Axel. Tragic

    Thanks, Rosalie – I’m glad you like it, and hope it can mean something in some small way.
    I will make it available for sale as soon as we can figure out how to set it up so that any proceeds can go to Axel’s family – I think Carrie is talking to the RB staff about this project.

    this is a really beautiful tribute – very touching and i have to agree with Toni – RB has really proved itself as a loving community – and although we can’t really take away the pain they must feel i hope they don’t feel alone.
