Family and Friends, Words can not express the level of appreciation Katie and I felt with your presence at my sons funeral. All of you were so dearly treasured as you shared that time with us in celebrating the Life we get to have for eternity through Jesus Christ. There was much more that I would have liked to share with each and every one of you but of coarse as all of you know time is always a factor throughout our lifes endeavors. During the ceremony I got to speak and share with all of you the letter that I had wrote my son as I was awaiting his very soon arrival. I can not tell you how excited I was to see my son at that time. To ease the wait I decided I would write to my dearest son and it wasnt until after his passing that I got to read the entry and examine the words as they had become even more precious to my soul. While reading this letter I got to discover my Fathers heart, as it had appeared that in my pursuit of documenting my love for my son to share with him years down the road, I saw that it was also my Father also writing to me knowing that I would need him in this great time of loss. It continues to amaze me that our perfect Father had experienced this same loss but on a much higher level. He too lost his Son, but by choice. He died on a cross for our sake that we may live and have eternal life. It is by this eternal life through Jesus that Katie and I get to see our precious son Desmond Scott Bernal again in eternity and for eternity. Truly how deep the Fathers Love for us that he would give his only son, to make a wretch his treasure. I pray that this letter brings you a reminder of Gods precious love for your life as he desires even in and through the darkest of times, to hold your hand through it until we arrive at eternity. Just as I was when I was waiting my sons arrival when I wrote this letter, I remain so joyous and thankful knowing that we will get to see our precious sons face again forever and ever. Be blessed Desmond Scott Bernal, Hello my son. It is the day of your birth and I cant tell you how blessed and in awe we are that the Lord has blessed your mother and I with raising you up as our son. I am listening to Phil Wickham beautiful as I write this and am reminded of Gods immeasurable love for us through his Son. He had to give up his Son for us to have life, wow. You havent yet come into this world but thinking of choosing to give you up for someone else to live who is undeserving is a thought I can not bare. Your birthday sheds new light on Gods Majesty. I am currently in the hospital room with your mother waiting for you to start knocking to come out. She is sleeping so peacefully as she always does. She was in pain for a long time until she got some help with medication to ease it so it is pleasing to my soul to see her at peace. We were supposed to come in yesterday in the morning time but they were so busy they couldnt get us in until 11:30 P.M. If its one thing I have learned through my walk with Jesus its that he always has a plan for everything. Sometimes we like to think that things should happen one way or another but however they end up happening we always have to remember that God has our best interest in mind first spiritually and then physically. He is Perfect in all his ways. Sitting here thinking of you makes me marvel at who you will be. Of coarse my son but who by your spirit. What games you will like to play , what music you will listen to, what friends you will win. Most importantly however how you will walk with the Lord. I have been praying for you since we found out that we were having you that God will put in your heart such a burning passion for His will and Glory. I have been praying that God remove anything that gets in your way when you are walking towards him.
