Stories of Lost Children
Kaylin Marie

As I sit here to write my story, my eyes fill up with tears... Just the simple thought of things does this to me.
On September 24, 2008 I came home from work. I was playing with my two little girls, Madison (2) and Kaylin (3 months). Around 5:00 I had to go to a conference for work. So I gave my girls kisses and left daddy to finish the playing. While I was at the conference, they announced that I had an emergency phone call. This is where is starts as -it should only happen in the movies- My aunt was waiting outside to pick me up. I asked her what was wrong and she said "lets just go". My first instinct was "what's wrong with my parents" but I never imagined or wanted to hear her next words... Its your baby... she stopped breathing. I just fell to the ground as if someone kicked my legs out from me. My heart, broken. As we arrived to the first hospital, they were running blood tests, catscans, x-rays, and so many others. She was in bad shape but I kept positive and just prayed. They had to transfer her to Children's Hospital to the PICU. The mental photos I have of her laying there lifeless hooked up to a breathing machine, wires all over her are so terrible. Why couldn't I help her? Kaylin stopped breathing around 6:00 pm on Wednesday September 24, and went to Heaven at 11:00 am on Thursday September 25. I will forever have a missing piece insight, but forever will I have her in my heart!! If there is anyone else out there that is going through this, please feel free to contact me. I am having such a hard time finding support groups in my area. It would be nice to talk to someone who is dealing with it first hand.
