Dedicated to the memory of ANGELO RAY DAPRILE VIGILANTE, by Mum, Dad & big brother Leone

On the 22th July 2016, a little Angel was born.
His heart and body were so strong that he survived even if briefly,  the impossible. Mum sudden collapse, followed by the placental abruption at the hospital.
He was born in deceitfully good conditions. Perfect little boy, 3.85 Kg, his eyes open looking rather lost, probably wondering where mummy was. A Beautiful boy, his skin as soft as velvet with a glow difficult to forget. "He cannot breath on his own" the doctor said. " we are keeping an eye on him" His condition deteriorated within a few hours from birth. The doctors were not sure what had happened.
We later discovered that mummy's collapse with cyanosis left Angelo Angelo Ray starved of oxygen leaving him permanently and irreversibly brain damaged. "Hypoxic ischaemia encephalopathy" said the Dr at NICU. "Angelo Ray will never be able to survive and if he did he would never be able to do any thing on his own. Breath, eat, talk. We are really sorry. There is absolutely nothing we can do" There... the words that no parents would ever want to hear.  

Anglo Ray, sadly passed away on the 30th July, when he was  8 days old in his mum's arms, on his mum's chest, surrounded by much love and warmth. 
His organs were donated so that joy and hope can survive and thrive in other children's lives.
He will always be remembered for his supreme resiliency and his infinite generosity. His story touched the heart of so many people.
He went to heaven right on the 8th day of life like only true angels do. He is pure light, he is pure love. He is on a different mission then us here on earth.
R.I.P. our dear Angelo Ray Daprile Vigilante.
