Stories of Lost Children
My Angel
by Vivian, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria
I welcomed my bundle of joy at about 12.45pm on the 28th July 2008. She was my very first baby after just a year of marriage and we were all so excited to have her in our midst. After 2 months, my husband and I decided we needed a change of environment so i travelled with my baby to visit my parents in another state. My Daughter got baptised while we were with my folks and she was christened Raphaela. I don't know what happened and to this day I can't explain how and when she started breathing very funny and how we rushed her to the hospital and she was diagnosed with Pneumonia. She died a few hours later, just a few days short of being three months. It was like my world ended that day, the 23rd of October 2008. Its being over a month now of emptiness and loneliness but I am seeking strength in my God and my husband. I miss her so very much and long each day to wake up if I can from this nightmare.
