Remembering Maxwell James Kabacinski
By Dorothy Teates
Back in June, I wrote about the birth of my great-grandson, son of Stephanie Teates Kabacinski and Ray K. It was June 12 when he arrived, accompanied by much joy in two families. He was beautiful and such a good baby. He said "Waaah" when he was hungry. The rest of the time, he just looked and looked and smiled like you would not believe.
His name was Maxwell James Kabacinski.
Max brought joy.
The 25th of July was a black, black day. Max went to Heaven. We imagine him with his great- grandpa, Cecil. They are happy. We are not. It is hard to believe the huge hole left by such a tiny baby. It is a big void, but it hurts so much. How does a void hurt?
His leaving took a toll on all those who knew him or knew of him. Pleasant Valley United Methodist Church was full to overflowing for the memorial service on July 29. Following the service, there was a bountiful meal served for all who were there, prepared and served by church members.
Grandparents of Max are Nancy and Cary Wayne Teates, who are Aldie folks, and Joanie and Ray Kabacinski, of Norfolk. Steph and Ray also are Aldie folks -- they are living in the home of Nancy and Cary.
We rejoice that we know that God is in control. We do not understand, but we know that He knows. Only the knowledge of His love gives us comfort.
