Just a little note, Erin was born on the 19th November 1987 and Jesus took her to heaven on His birthday of that year, she was aged one month, one week and one day, she was perfectly healthy, (after her post mortem the Doctors said she died of cot death, meaning they found no cause for her death)
I may be bias, but I have always believed that God took her so she could complete her work in heaven, in fact that is written on her little tombstone, "working for God'. Below is one of the poems/prose I wrote. It may be of interest and possibly helpful to someone. May Jesus use all things for His Glory. Amen

Erin’s Christmas.

My soul was singing on this Holy day of Heaven
My heart was bursting with Joy
The house bustled with activity, the children played, the men talked and I could see my mother and sister working happily on Christmas lunch.

I looked into the eyes of my beautiful daughter and folded her in my arms, feeding Erin, we sat there alone in the loungeroom and listened to drummer boy.
“Oh, dear lord Jesus, what can I give you on your special day?”
My soul was singing for want of a gift. No gift have I to befit a King, I sang with the drummer boy. This babe in Mary’s arms had given me life and other wonderous gifts such as the joy of the babe in my arms. My heart praised the Christ child and tears blurred my sight.

The Carol ended and lunch was served. Rocking Erin in my arms, while everyone celebrated this great day, the eyes of my Erin rested on me but unaware of their wisdom, I looked on in wonder at their intensity.
Erin was saying “Don’t you realise mummy, Jesus has answered your prayer and this is my last hour with you?” Hold me mummy and let me feel your love, so that I can tell Jesus today, “how sweet is His creation!”

Cuddling me, I wondered why she wanted only her mother’s arms;

How sweet that hour before her sleep
How sweet those eyes of knowledge
How sweet her form that clung to me
How placid she slept on that hot afternoon.

And while I re-joined the world, Jesus answered my prayer, He heard my soul and took my heart. "Yes, you have a gift for me, more precious than gold, frankincense or myrrh" and from His crib He smiled on me and Mary sweet mother took my Erin in Her own arms and held close to Her heart.

Now as you smile on me dear Lord, you may see tears or even hear sobs but these, dear Lord, are my human expression of gratitude for this sorrow, an even greater gift of your Love.

My Dear Lord Jesus, How I love thee.

Well, we have returned from our wonderful vacation, enjoying the love of Christopher, Michelle, and their 3 little ones outside of Houston; Fr. Benjamin with his tour around Fort Worth, visiting the sites of his ministry, and meeting the other two priests in his community: Fr. Owens, and Fr. O'Duil; and then finally a stop to see our older daughter, Rachel, her husband Stephen, and their 5 little ones south of Los Angeles.

The baptisms for tomorrow have been postponed so I will be able to focus on the Derry Rosary.

Please pray for my beautiful wife, Geralyn; her autoimmune problems have taken a turn for the worse and she is experiencing much pain.

O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.

Folks, new enough to the forum and a young Derry Catholic.

What has been organised today, has been for me life changing/life affirming. All those days praying at mass and church alone, to be surrounded with men from all across the city, province and country has been so heart warming. I want to thank Robert, the Church, the Priests of the Diocese and further afield, and those faithful who travelled to be part of today's proceedings, I can't thank you all enough on a personal level.

I am not alone, because I know across this country when I kneel before God I kneel with others.
God is with us. God bless you all. Thank you

Thank you! You give all of us hope - to know young people are strong in their faith encourages me beyond measure!

Being called to bear witness to the Living God especially in today's world is a blessing beyond measure. What a great burden we have, how heavy is our cross. I carry mine with joy, especially after today. What a blessing we have to be called in this era, whatever comes with it, I face it with joy.

I have a feeling to that the prayers of Sister Clare Crockett have brought great graces from heaven for Derry her home city which she loved greatly. Hence the turnout today of so many Catholic men in Derry may be a spark that reignites the faith in Ireland.

Ps update I wrote this before seeing Roberts video update below on Derry. He mentions Sister Clare Crockett lol

Inspiring and hope filled! It is urgent to continue to pray for Derry, Robert and these men. This movement is important not just to Ireland. I believe this spark has global implications.
