Testament Para Sophia Todo cambió para siempre desde que naciste; ni siquiera el gran dolor de tu partida ensombrece la luz que trajiste a nuestra vida. Nos hemos reunido hoy aquí en una ocasión muy triste. Una de las experiencias más dolorosas que ofrece la vida es la de la muerte de nuestra pequeña. Venimos hoy con más preguntas que respuestas; por ejemplo, no sabemos por qué esta pequeña vida fue tomada antes de que ella realmente comenzara a vivir. Pero sí sabemos que Dios no comete errores. Todos llegamos con un propósito en la vida, sin darnos cuenta o sin saber cuál es. Pero tal vez ella cumplió su propósito, que fue muy corto; estamos seguros de que en tan poco tiempo dejó huella en todos nosotros. Siempre vamos a estar agradecidos de que Dios nos la haya prestado un poco de tiempo para hacerla feliz y darnos la felicidad que no sabíamos que necesitábamos. Sophia, llegaste a enseñarnos lo que era la felicidad, el amor, la paz y tantas cosas más. Siempre fuiste una niña muy feliz, siempre sonriendo a todos, contagiando la alegría tan pura que tenías. Desde el día en que supimos que venías en camino, fuiste una bebé tan amada por todos, tan esperada. Gracias por todos los momentos, por todos los recuerdos que nos dejaste. Gracias por todo, Sophia. Fuiste la mejor bebé y te amaremos por siempre. Testament For Sophia Everything changed forever the day you were born; not even the great pain of your passing can overshadow the light you brought into our lives. We have gathered here today on a very sad occasion. One of life's most painful experiences is the loss of a child. We come today with more questions than answers-for example, we do not know why this precious life was taken before she truly began to live. But we do know that God does not make mistakes. We each come into this world with a purpose, sometimes without realizing it or knowing what it is. Perhaps she fulfilled her purpose. Though it was brief, we are certain that in such a short time, she left a mark on all of us. We will always be grateful that God lent her to us for a little while to make her happy, and to give us a joy we didn't know we needed. Sophia, you came to teach us what happiness, love, peace, and so much more truly are. You were always such a joyful little girl, always smiling at everyone, sharing the pure joy you carried. From the day we knew you were on the way, you were so deeply loved and eagerly awaited. Thank you for all the moments, for all the memories you left us. Thank you for everything, Sophia. You were the best baby, and we will love you forever.
