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.
No words, just always in our thoughts xxx
Che tutto questo dolore, col tempo, possa mutarsi in forza ed avere un minimo di senso.
Death is nothing at all I have only slipped away into the next room I am I and you are you Whatever we were to each other That we are still Call me by my old familiar name Speak to me in the easy way you always used Put no difference into your tone Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow Play, smile, think of me, pray for me Let my name be ever the household word that it always was Let it be spoken without effort Without the ghost of a shadow in it Life means all that it ever meant It is the same as it ever was There is absolute unbroken continuity What is death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind Because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you for an interval Somewhere very near Just around the corner All is well. Sending you all so much love and light.
