Nov 9th how could we possibly forget this day? A day like today 17yrs ago our lives changed forever, my son was given a second chance at life, 17yrs ago the Pedro we all knew and loved past away in Carolina PR, and a new Pedro aka Ninin with a particular mission was born. He fights day in and day out but for now God has other plans and until the Ninin we knew returns, our mission through us is to bring awareness to others about his conditions of Epilepsy and Encephalitis as well as lending a helping hand to those in need.
Every year when this day comes along I think to myself I don't know how I’m still standing 🤦🏽♀️ but keep praying that I get the strength and knowledge to help him in the years to come to continue fighting!
Prior to our Nins “incident” our life consisted of helping others, making a difference in people’s lives, lifting them spiritually, economically, physically and morally. I welcomed people into my home with open arms, provided a roof over their heads when they didn’t have one, I was always that shoulder others relied on to cry on, I was raising my 3 boys to be men of good leading them by example not by words, until my world was turned upside down, life could not have stricken me with anything more painful than it did when my middle son got sick, and this is where the real story of our life begins...
story through my eyes
On Nov 9 2005 I drove my son to the hospital with severe abdominal pain, upon arriving to the hospital and being evaluated I was told the pain was caused by his appendix and it had to be removed via surgery ASAP. None of my children had ever been through any type of surgery they were all healthy, happy young boys, so I was a wreck that one of my babies was about to be cut open, but it was a very common surgery with minimal risks and due to the fact that my son was very healthy and athletic I knew he would bounce right back up in no time, but for some reason I still had this uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach. Eight hours after being initially evaluated they rolled my dear Ninin away to remove his appendix……and he has as of yet returned, I lost my baby boy in that operating room and 15years later I am still fighting to find him…..Thanking My Circle For Always Staying By Us As We See People Come And Go Loyalty Is A. Big Word!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
