A year ago at 4:50pm I was told that my son's heart had stopped beating. I hoped it was a mistake..but a later ultrasound around 6pm it was confirmed that Eli's heart had stopped. I was induced and had Eli on May 29,2014. There is never a day that goes by that I don't think about my son. Every single day I kiss his picture and tell him how much I love him. It has being a difficult year... Still grieving his loss..yet trying to smile because I know he enjoys to see me smile. My husband and I are planning to visit his grave...take him balloons and a small present. We will gather with family on Saturday and cherish his memory his angelversary his 1st birthday.

Eli mommy loves you so much, I will give anything in this life to hug and kiss you happy birthday my son. I love you. You are and will always be in my heart mi amor. Te amo....Happy Birthday in heaven.
Love, Mommy

I know I'm a bit late but just wanted to let you know my thoughts are with you.

Thanks, I can't believe it has being a rear already. After Eli's loss...I remember the days were dragging.... and now I can't believe his fast time flew. We celebrated our son yesterday with a dinner with our close family... It was nice we had 2 cakes we sang happy birthday... And all my nephews were allowed to blow out the candle for Eli..... For the first time after Eli, I was able to carry someone else's baby, my husband's cousin's 7month old baby. It was a nice feeling.... I just never felt like carrying no one else....but I am glad I got over that fear already.....
Thank you ladies for your thoughts and wishes for my Eli... I really appreciated from the bottom of my heart!

I found it very hard to hold my sister's baby after losing my son. Of course, it was fresh after my loss so that's probably the main reason. I felt like everyone was looking at me waiting for me to react, and it was very hard. I'm so glad you were able to get through the day and had so much support:)

Happy Angel anniversary to Eli. Martha thanks for being such a great friend on this site to me. I also remember it all 2 well. I'm happy we all found each other, as least we can lean on each other and know we are not so alone. I don't doubt they have having a great big birthday party with all the little kids on this site, especial Valeria, my baby. You know i lost Valeria as the same time as you and...i'm just glad the first year is over. Even though i think about her everyday i also pray to her. If she's not here i know her mission is to look out for my family, as i know thats all of our consolation prizes. I hope you all believe that. I'm about 1 month ago from having a baby boy....(God willing!!!). I'd appreciate all of your prayers please. Big hug to Martha and Eli.

Marthar1201 06/09/2015

Thank you Scarlett. I will be praying for you and your baby boy. Any names yet!!! So happy for you. I know Valeri is watching over you...Cuidate mucho!!!
Big hug to you

Hey Martha, He is smiling at you right now, saying Thank you Mommy. In my heart I pray that in heaven both Eli, Julissa and all of our angel babies are together keeping each other company. In my heart, that keeps me from going crazy or wondering . Big hugs to you and yours.

Marthar1201 06/21/2015

Thank you.... I picture all of our angel babies playing in heaven...all of the in white.... I see a lot of light and joy.
I can only imagine the moment when we will be with them in the eternal life.
