She was beautiful. Her name was Aliyah. She would have been 5 mos tomorrow. My daughter was at work. She works at 5am. The sitter called and told her Aliyah wasn't breathing, and she should come right away. My daughter and her husband rushed to the hospital. Loyola in Maywood, right outisde of Chicago. It was too late. She was gone.
the doctors said it's SIDS. I just can't believe that. She was okay yesterday. She smiled so big all her gums showed. She was an angel. I feel like my heart is ripped out. I just held her. My daughter is hysterical. I had to give her sleeping pills. I am a wreck. All my family was here tonight. It happened around 11am. She usually wakes from her nap, and the sitter said when she checked on her, she wasn't breathing.
My oldest son is flying in from Oregon tomorrow. And the one who is in boot camp at Ft Jackson...the Red Cross is sending him home as well. I am numb now. My head is aching. My eyes are burning. I have never had this happen to anyone since my sister. I have never cried so hard....WHY???? she was so little. so happy..so precious..there si no rhyme or reason to anything..Just wanted to tell you all. I'm gone for a while.....
