One of the saddest places I have ever been

But God showed particular kindness to me, finding me a seat beside the teachers from the little girl's school - the headmistress spoke to our daughter at lunchtime, telling her that she'd seen her dad at the funeral.

The service was a celebration of the little girl's life. We heard a recording of her class singing "You are my sunshine"; the service ended with a recording of the girl herself singing a song. It was heartbreaking.

Surely, she is now in a better place; surely, Jesus is caring for her; surely we do not believe that death (whether of a child, or of someone who has lived a long life) is the end.
