Stories of Lost Children

Our Angel Matteo
by Elizabeth, , , U.S.A.

We were beyond thrilled for our baby’s arrival when we found out he was a boy. We have 2 girls and he was the last addition to complete our family. Then everything came crashing down; my hopes and dreams crushed when everything seemed normal. At 20 weeks, they started seeing markers for heart defects. Those were the hardest weeks ever trying to get answers, but I remained hopeful. The day came when they confirmed how serious his condition was. I chose to keep on carrying on with the pregnancy knowing there was a slim to no chance of him making it. I cherished every kick and movement and then, at 34 weeks, my heart sunk when they told me I had to be induced immediately due to my blood pressure. I prayed you would pull through. I'll never forget the moment they placed him on me and I knew in my heart he didn't make it. My boy was born silently May 1, 2018. My heart is torn and I feel like a piece of me is missing. It all happened so fast that it seems like such a blur. There are moments I think I've learned to accept it but others when I feel like I will never be OK. I will forever miss you my precious Matteo. You know how much we prayed for you to be with us but God has other plans and he needed you more than us. I will be patiently waiting for the day we meet again and I get to hold you in my arms forever.
