My 1st daughter Chelsea was born with no problems. We decided to have another one. Miscarriage on 1997, then 1998. Then got pregnant again. I thought everything was fine. I was 8 months pregnant, just came back from taking my Dad grocery shopping. I did not feel good. I did not think I felt the baby move. This was on a Friday. All weekend long I had the feeling something was wrong. Monday we went for my normal checkup, and they could hear no heartbeat. My deepest suspicions were confirmed, my baby was gone. Later that evening September 13, 1999, I delivered a beautiful baby girl 7 lbs 18 inches long. She had dark hair like me, Was perfect, but she was not breathing. She was BORN STILL an angel in heaven. The turmoil over the next few days months and years could never be understood by anyone, unless you have lost a child yourself. Without the love and support of my family and friends, and the WNYPBN i am the person I am today. My loss has taken a long time to overcome. My baby would be 15 this year. I can say I am at peace finally. It has been a long long road. I may still have a bad day especially her birthday 9/13/99. I started the BASKET RAFFLE for all the Babies born to soon in 2000, which was held at the WALK to Remember. It became so big that it became an EVENING TO REMEMBER> THe love of the wonderful volunteers have helped to make it what it is today. If you could find it in your heart to donate, ONLY $5.00, it would go toward the healing of another parents loss. Hugs your kids tonight, be grateful you have them. I also suffered another miscarriage Sept 2000. , and could not go through anymore.. This organization is wonderful it needs your support to help others…..THANKYOU from my HEART!
