HEAVEN'S HERO

ALEC DONALD IDEKER

JANUARY 19, 2004 - NOVEMBER 1, 2007

FOREVER LOVED AND FOREVER MISSED


Welcome to Alec's Web Page. Alec was born on January 19, 2004 and has mitochondrial disease. There is no treatment or cure for this and we cherish the time the God gives us. He started to have seizures (that we saw) the day that we brought him home from the hospital. He has multiple types of seizures, including infantile spasms seizures. Alec has never had a "seizure free" day and has had many days where his seizures are too many to count. Alec also has problems with his respiratory system, gastroinstestional system, along with the neuromuscular. Alec is fed through a g-tube, cannot walk, cannot crawl, cannot roll, cannot talk. But Alec can touch your heart, touch your soul, and teach volumes without speaking.

Aaron and Alec are our most precious gifts from God and we are so thankful for what we have been given. Alec has taught us that God's plan for us all is far greater and better than what we have planned.

GOD'S LENT CHILD

I'll lend you for a little while, child of mine God said For you to love the while he lives and mourn for when he’s dead.
It may be six or seven years, or forty-two or three
But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me?
He’ll bring his charms to gladden you and should his stay be brief
You’ll always have his memories as a solace in your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught below I want this child to learn.
I’ve looked this whole world over in my search for teachers true
And from the folk that crowd Life’s lane I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love and not think the labour vain,
Nor hate me when I come to take this lent child back again?
I fancy that I heard them say “Dear God, thy will be done.
For all the joys this child will bring the risk of grief we’ll run.
We will shelter him with tenderness, we’ll love him while we may
And for all the happiness we’ve ever known, we’ll ever grateful stay.
But should the angels call him much sooner than we’d planned
We will brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand.”

WE LOVE YOU ALEC AND MISS YOU LIKE CRAZY!!!!



I've changed the presets in my truck
so those old songs don't sneak up
they still find me and remind me
yeah you come back that easy
try restaurants I've never been to
order new things off the menu
that I never tried cause you didn't like
two drinks in you were by my side

I've talked to friends
I've talked to myself
I've talked to God
I prayed liked hell but I still miss you
I tried sober I tried drinking
I've been strong and I've been weak
and I still miss you
I've done everything move on like I'm supposed to
I'd give anything for one more minute with you
I still miss you
I still miss you baby

I never knew til you were gone
how many pages you were on
it never ends I keep turning
and line after line and you are there again
I dont know how to let you go
you are so deep down in my soul
I feel helpless so hopeless
its a door that never closes

[I Still Miss You lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]
no I don't know how to do this

I've talked to friends
I've talked to myself
I've talked to God
I prayed liked hell but I still miss you
I tried sober I tried drinking
I've been strong and I've been weak
and I still miss you
I've done everything
move on like I'm supposed to
I'd give anything for one more minute with you
I still miss you yeah

I've talked to friends
I've talked to myself
I've talked to God
I prayed liked hell but I still miss you
I tried sober I tried drinking
I've been strong and I've been weak
and I still miss you
I've done everything
move on like I'm supposed to
I'd give anything for one more minute with you
I still miss you yeah
