Enzo, My Shining Star*
"An angel opened the book of life and wrote down Enzo's birth. Then she whispered as she closed the book, 'too beautiful for earth' "
Enzo was born on July 28th, 2011 at 11:18 pm. His first breath was taken at The Ohio State University Medical Center in Columbus, Ohio. Enzo weighed 430 grams and measured 10.5 inches. Due to Trisomy 16 Mosaic, in which most but not all of his cells had an extra 16th chromosome, he developed Potter's Syndrome, a syndrome that means the malfunction or non-existence of the kidneys. My sweet baby boy passed away on July 29th, 2011 at 3:43 am, giving us 4 hours and 25 minutes of pure happiness and unconditional love!
We baptized him, bathed him, clothed him, photographed him, loved him... enjoyed every second of every minute of those 4 hours and 25 minutes that he was with us. Some people have a lifetime to live, my baby only had a few hours... the best hours of my life! He taught me to love, he made me experience a miracle, he forever changed my ways and best of all... he made me a mom. Not just any mom, but his mom. The strongest, most beautiful baby boy in this universe!
Enzo is now my beautiful Angel, who will be forever remembered and loved in all of our hearts!
