She's been gone for nine days now

skylersue - 07:08pm May 22, 2012 EST

My daughter Skyler Sue passed away nine days ago. The feeling I can't describe - but the pain is like this tightening in the chest, wherein it's so hard to breathe. My eyes are already dry from all the tears I've been crying the past 9 days. I'll be normal at work or doing chores, then I'll just break down and cry. Going to get groceries is so difficult, anywhere I look is a baby - and going thru the infant section is torture.

Skyler Sue is born with a rare neurological disorder called Lissencephaly. She stayed in the NICU for 51 days, we were told she will live for at least 2 years. But at 94 days she passed away. We were not prepared, it was already painful for us to accept she only have a few years, but she only lived a little over 3 months. I keep reminding myself to be thankful for the 3 months, but I can't avoid but feel anger for having so little time with her. She was our love and joy - how I wish I can just hug and kiss her one last time.

If you have 23 minutes, below is a link to a tribute I made for my little girl - Skyler Sue

Hi Shameka, I am sorry for your loss too. I hope you can find comfort knowing you were chosen to be the Mother of one of God's angels- knowing that gives me so much strength to get by during this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
