Jamie's Joy

Jamie Morgan Mychael Bratton-McNeeley Jamie Morgan came into the world May 24, 1996. He jumped onto life’s stage with a gleeful zest, and kept dancing until April 24, 2002. In Jamie’s short time with us, he brought an incredible light to all around him. Even people passing by would comment on his incredible beauty. Jamie’s beauty, while also physical, ran so much deeper. He told us when he was three the story of his birth. He said he had been with the angels looking down at us in our bed. He told God, “Those are the people I want to live with”. Then, as he put it, he slid down a long tunnel into Elene’s tummy. Even though we didn’t know we needed Jamie at the time, he knew. Before Jamie was born, we began to feel a kind of love we hadn’t experienced ever before. On the day of Jamie’s birth, Uncle David wrote a poem for “the Little Buddha”. He was the most angelic little boy. We know that he came here to touch all he met. He is such a bright light. His smile could melt the sun. He was so full of life and love. He is so connected to God. His story of how he talked to God before coming to us is just one example. He knew God was in his heart and he acknowledged that same God in others. He once told his mom “Did you know that God lives in our hearts?” He had many other words of spiritual wisdom. He and his mom were writing them down. They wanted to write a book “Musings of a Five-year-old Mystic”. He loved to pray and we would pray every morning and at meals. He would say, “Thank You God for my mommy, my daddy, my sissy, my auntie, my Demetri, my whole family and my whole ‘wrild’ (world)”. He asked once “Is it ok if I say the same thing every time?” He’d add to his prayer other special people when they were on his mind: his grand parents, his uncle “Daven” and Aunt Karen and Ari, his Godmom or a new friend he had met. For some time after September 11, 2001, he added the “people in the building that fell down” to his prayers. If someone at school was hassling him or he wasn’t getting along with them he would pray for them to be happy. He prayed for world peace and peace in his own heart. He was the most compassionate little boy we have every known. We usually ended with the guardian angel prayer (from Rami's Book). Dear Guardian Angel Thank You for staying close to me and protecting me Thank You for showing me the ways to be loving. Thank You for helping me make right decisions. Thank You for showing me the ways to be happy and to make other people happy. Thank You for loving me so much. I Love you too! (He added this part) Jamie loved back rubs, holding hands, sitting in our laps, hugs and he never got embarrassed to kiss us. We shared so much love, you could see it, and you could feel it. He taught us how to open our hearts full & express love unconditionally. He loved flowers and trees and water and dirt. He was so connected to the to the experience of this earth. He enjoyed each moment.
