First of all
I must thank you
For being truly the best
I am aware that like all Jewish mothers
You might have been feeling some guilt
But I want to reassure you
That your devotion to me
Was absolutely unequaled
I know I can't fathom
The extent of your wrenching pain
At having me ripped from your arms
Still I long to share with you mommy
Some of the things I've experienced
So you can see through my eyes
What yours couldn't
At that very awful moment
When the numbers took a plunge
I felt myself rising
Hovering
Above the body
To which
I was no longer shackled
Through my crystal clear vision
And perfect hearing
I saw and heard
All that transpired
And then
I rose higher
Above the hospital
Way up
Lighter than air
I saw the entire world
Spread out down below
Continents and oceans
Mountains, deserts and forests
Then before me
Beckoned a tunnel
Of blinding white light
And I let it pull me in
I wasn't afraid at all
I felt safe, warm, and loved
Instinctively, I knew I was home
Through the tunnel I traveled
Till I arrived at huge hall
Where a great many people
Were waiting to greet me
Their faces shining
I recognized some
From family pictures I'd seen
Others told me
They were my ancestors from way back
"We are here to escort you"
They told me with love
It's our privilege
To take you
To where you belong
Along with them
I was accompanied
By millions of pure white malachim
Created by each mitzvah
I so painstakingly performed
and all the zechusim
People accumulated on my behalf
Together they took me
To a place I cannot begin
To describe
The magnificence
Just took my breath away
I was surrounded
By so many pure souls
They welcomed me
Singing and dancing
Mommy I know
That the greatest relief
A mother can ever have
Is to know
That her child is happy
So while I don't think
you will ever forget your loss
That the crushing grief
Will ever fully fade
I want you to be secure in the knowledge
That I am in an amazing place now
I love you so much mommy
And I will do my utmost from up here
To make sure
That you, tatty, and all my siblings
Should know no more pain

No. This little girl was sick all her life. There was a thread about her so I assumed most of you ppl would know who I'm talking about.
