the memory of rising up from my operation to the bright shinning light, with Doctors all around me. My vision was still slightly blury. Then i looked to my right and saw the same doctor (Dr.Potts)that told me you had no chance at all! She could tell i was trying to speak but i was still drugged up and couldnt. Instead she spoke for me and she said the words i was so glad to hear and will never forget "We Are Glad to be Wrong, Are you ready to see your baby boy"....Suddenly My vision came back to normal and as crazy as it seems....I keep hopeing that the funeral home or the hospital would call me and say those exact words til this day.... "we are glad to be wrong"....It just dosent seem real

I remember visiting Santana. On June 12, 2008 Ashley and I went to see Shay and Santana. I still have the maternity badge that they made us wear. As we got closer to room 3209, my heart started beating faster and faster. Aunt Ne-Ne, and grandma and grandpa Moore was there. Grandma was making sure that nurse was taking the upmost care of Shay. Then Shay told the nurse that she was ready to go see the baby. Right then, I wished she was taking her baby home after spending the required 3 days in the post-partum ward. Three at a time we went in. We passed all the NICU babies and stopped in the back at Santana's incubator. I was scared to look, so I leaned inch by inch until I could see him. Yep, he's a fighter...kicking and moving, and there was nothing un-human about him. He was just tiny. Now we know what little face to look for when we all meet again.

Santana, you are an angel indeed that will always be loved and missed by those who knew you and knew of you. I work with your Mom and was saddend to hear that you left your families side so soon. My prayer is for your mom's strength every day as no words can express the pain a mother feels to have such a loss as great as you. I pray for the comfort of Jesus to be with your mom, dad, big sister and all of your family during this time. You continue to be that Angel that God created you to be and watch over your family.

The memory of his father Dex the day he was born. He walked in the NICU stood by his bedside crying and said to me; I can't believe I have a son Dee, I can't believe I have a son.
Then he looked at his son and said; it's you, Ziah, Mommy and me now champ -you have to pull through this like a soldier! I would've given anything to have frozen that moment in time. Watching how proud my brother was of his son brought tears to my eyes. Both Shay and Dex were so happy and proud of their son, regardless of his struggles -he was the absolute most perfect angel in their eyes and will remain as such for eternity!!

The memory of Shay (Santana's Mom) with her hand cupped over his beautiful body, singing "He's got the hold world in his hands. He's got the itsy, bitsy, baby in his hands." I'll never forget that. It was the most beautiful thing I ever saw, and HE does have the whole world including the itsy, bitsy baby in his incredible hands.
