I did not know Emmanuel, but I saw his obituary notice on my Facebook newsfeed and wanted to respond. My heart goes out to you. He was beautiful and his life mattered. Having lost a child, I know the pain you are feeling. I hope that is it of some comfort to you that you gave him 17 years of love, devotion and good food! He was lucky to have a devoted and loving family such as yours.
May you find peace eventually. When you are ready, if you wish, there is a group called Compassionate Friends- Loss of a Child. It is for bereaved parents who have lost a child of any age and for any reason.
Blessings to you on this sad journey

My condolences to the family of Emmanuel. He was a very cute boy/young man. I watched him grow up. I saw him smile, and laugh, . He was very kind everytime I saw him. He had his days too. I look forward to the day Emmanuel will have a full life with no limits. Can you imagine him running, climbing, an talking about everything he loves. That day will come, it’s a promise from JEHOVAH God. I pray your family draw closer an comfort each other during this very sensitive loss 🧡

I don’t personally know your family, but I’m so sorry for your loss. My husband and I lost our precious son due to a chromosome abnormality, Trisomy 13. It’s almost been 7 years and I think about our son every single day. I understand the heartbreak you’re feeling. May your beautiful angel rest in peace. God bless.
