& missing my little brother so much. He died at age 10, just 1 month & 1 day (2 days after Christmas) after my daughter was born. He was so proud to be an uncle for the 2nd time and have a niece. The closer I get to my scheduled c-section date, I feel sad somewhat, because Michael wont be here to see Olivia. Im very thankful that he was still alive when Elizabeth was born. I just miss him SO MUCH!!!! He died in his sleep, of heart failure, we had no idea that his heart was that bad, the scar tissue from a surgery he had (he was born w/ 4 holes in his heart..3 were fixed & 1 was patched up when he was 3 months old) built up over time and just stopped his heart. The last time I saw him was Christmas night. I never got any pictures taken w/ him at all last year...not when I had my daughter, or at Christmas time. Theres so many regrets. But I know hed want me to be happy & not sad. I know hes watching over my family & I.
This holiday season isnt going to be all that happy either. Right before Christmas 2007 we found out the baby I was pregnant with had died 6 weeks before and I had no idea, no symptoms, nothing. The baby was only 6 weeks when it died, and I didnt miscarry it til I was suppose to be around 16 weeks pregnant. It was dead inside of me for 2 months, I didnt have insurance so the dr wanted me to miscarry naturally.
