She was supposed to be a HE, the 5th boy apo of the LArgueza family. When she came out at around 9am, I remembered how we cheered that she was actually a girl. Finally!
But she was very small. 5 lbs at full term. Also, she had very small ears that almost had no opening, no ankle bones on the left foot, and she had a hole on her palate. She was not normal.
We were saddened by her case, but we were hopeful; never doubting she would make it through despite everything. We were proven wrong 8 hours after. While everybody thought she was just peacefully, she was no longer breathing by 5PM.
And so she's gone... faster than she arrived... She left us with feelings of disbelief & sadness (for her parents: grief).
For those who have little faith, questions would surely arise, and no answers to follow. BUt for us who believe in the goodness of the Lord, though numerous questions are there, there is one complete answer.
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28
