In Memory

Vole vole petite aile
Ma douce, mon hirondelle
Va t'en loin, va t'en sereine
Qu'ici rien ne te retienne
Rejoins le ciel et l'éther
Laisse-nous laisse la terre
Quitte manteau de misère
Change d'univers

Vole vole petite sœur
Vole mon ange, ma douleur
Quitte ton corps et nous laisse
Qu'enfin ta souffrance cesse
Va rejoindre l'autre rive
Celle des fleurs et des rires
Celle que tu voulais tant
Ta vie d'enfant

Vole vole mon amour
Puisque le nôtre est trop lourd
Puisque rien ne te soulage
Vole à ton dernier voyage
Lâche tes heures épuisées
Vole, tu l'as pas volé
Deviens souffle, sois colombe
Pour t'envoler

Vole, vole petite flamme
Vole mon ange, mon âme
Quitte ta peau de misère
Va retrouver la lumière

This is one of the most heartbreaking songs ever written. It was written by
Jean-Jacques Goldman and presented as a gift to Celine Dion and she dedicated
it to her niece Karine who passed in away in Celine's arms from Cystic fibrosis.
Why am I blogging about it? A friend of mine, her husband and two children
went to stay at her parents house and they realised the baby was missing.
He'd somehow gotten into the garden and had drowned in the pond. They
think he was in the water for around 20mins and it took the doctors nearly an
hour to get a faint heartbeat. This last week has been one of intense prayer
and hoping as he battled on. The decision was made this morning to turn off
the life support - yet we all still hoped for a miracle. It wasn't to be. Daniel
passed away a few hours ago,aged just 18 months. The song above just makes
my heart ache for him and his family right now.

Rest in peace Daniel. Heaven is a better place for having you x
