March 22 would be Carmen's 2nd birthday. Carmen was a beautiful angel born with Translocation DS and Mosaic DS. She was also born with an unbalanced AV canal which basically gave her Left Hypoplastic Heart Syndrome. Carmen had open heart surgery at one week and two days. Carmen never left the hospital, never making it home to her new adoptive family, but instead left to be with her Lord Jesus. I spent almost five weeks with Carmen. I was there within 24 hrs after her birth. I will never forget the times I held her before her surgery. The times that I rubbed her feet with lotion and would read her stories are like golden memories for me. We would watch American Idol and vote for David Cook...we were in KC, MO afterall. Not at anytime did I imagine she wouldn't make it. I left three days before her death to come be with my oldest daughter for her confirmation in Ohio. The morning of April 27th, 2008-Carmen left her Mommy behind to go to Heaven. She is up there,I am sure, with her birth grandparents and her adoptive grandparents at her side. I miss her each and everyday. Carmen-Mommy loves you and misses you so much! Do me a favor o.k.? Watch over your sister Yana...keep her safe...and please help us bring her home! I love you baby girl!!!
Happy Birthday sweet Carmen, may you be resting in the arms of the angels with our Lord Jesus.
