MY NAME IS DIANE. THE YEAR OF 2002, WAS NOT A GOOD YEAR FOR ME. IN MARCH I LOST MY UNCLE DUE TO CANCER, THEN WE GOT A BLESSING THAT I WAS PREGNANT EVEN THOUGH I WAS ON THE PILL. OUR 6 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS HAPPY AND SO WERE I AND MY HUSBAND. IN JULY I WENT FOR AN ULTRASOUND AND FOUND THAT I WAS PREGNANT WITH TWINS, A BOY AND A GIRL.
WE BOUGHT A BIGGER HOUSE, MOVED IN AUGUST AND IN SEPTEMBER THE SAME MAN THAT BLESSED US WITH TWINS, TOOK AWAY THE GIRL.
I WAS UPSET. AT 20 WEEKS I LOST OUR DAUGHTER. I WAS ADMITTED TO HOSPITAL BECAUSE OF THE RISK OF INFECTION. I WAS IN AND OUT [OF HOSPITAL] FOR THE REST OF MY PREGNANCY. AT 36 WEEKS OUR SON WENT INTO DISTRESS SO THEY DID AN EMERGENCY C-SECTION. HE WAS NOT BREATHING SO THEY TOOK HIM TO THE NICU UNIT. MY DAUGHTER WAS BORN AND SENT FOR AN AUTOPSY.
JOHNATHON (NAMED AFTER MY LATE UNCLE) WAS BORN WITH A CYST ON HIS BRAIN. GOING THROUGH REHAB, WE FOUND OUT THAT OUR SON AND DAUGHTER BOTH HAD STROKES INSIDE OF ME. AND BOTH SHOULD HAVE DIED.
I THANK GOD EVERY DAY THAT I HAVE MY DAUGHTER AMANDA AND MY SON JOHNATHON. HE WILL BE 1 YEAR OLD JAN 8 2004.
YOURS TRULY,
DIANE
