My beautiful and sweet angel. I have loved you beyond words or description from the moment I felt you in my womb. You have been my joy, my heart and everything that was always pure and real in my life. I wish I was with you right now. I wish I was with you. I don’t know how to live without you, but I will try to move on and spread the love and light that you made me feel so much being your mom. You were so deeply loved and cherished and I wish that only love could have saved you. I’m so sorry my baby, I’m so sorry @carlosmare. Rest in Peace and Eternal Paradise, my beloved child.
