Stories of Lost Children
My Little Angel
by Dawn, Phila, PA, U.S.A.
The day that I found out my best friend was pregnant was one of the happiest days I can remember. You may have thought I was the one pregnant! Every doctors appointment, every crazy craving, every moment of sickness I was there and I wouldn't have changed it for the world. On October 04, 2002 when Isiahia was born and I watched him take his first breath, my heart was filled with so much love for this little angel I can't even explain. When I first held him in my arms I felt like I would never let go, and if I knew that he would take his last breath only three weeks later I wouldn't have. The night of October 28 shattered my world when I recieved a phone call from my best friend's mother saying the baby had stopped breathing. Just stopped breathing,and now he's gone. I couldn't think, the coroner rulled it as S.I.D.S. His funeral was awful; I don't think I have stopped crying since. She found out she was pregnant again on January; I guess the only way she could fill the void. I was happy for her but scared to death. She had another beautiful son on September 9, 2003, Jhayden looked so much like his brother that it pained me to hold him, but my heart was filled and I thought I would do anything for this little boy. I recieved dejavu on December 13 telling me Jhayden too had passed away the night before. I felt like I would die myself. I couldn't do this again, i couldn't watch her hurt anymore either. After talking to the police I found out my friend was at work when both of those angels died. They were alone with their father...(who I found out had 2 daughters who passed away 10 years before). Now two years later we are awating a trial for 4 homicides, my life will never be the same, my heart breaks everyday, and I still haven't figured out how to stop crying.
